I recently started reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, and in the first few pages, I was struck by the story of the British cycling team. They achieved incredible success by focusing on tiny, incremental improvements in every area of their lives—from their sleep habits to their nutrition to the way they approached training. It was this attention to the small details that ultimately led them to dominate their sport.
What really resonated with me, though, was Clear’s own personal story. He went through a traumatic injury early in his life but managed to turn things around by applying the same principle of small, consistent improvements. His journey from recovery to becoming a successful author is a testament to the power of habits and the idea that even the smallest changes can lead to monumental results over time.
