There is a small, but powerful force that pushes you every day. It can move you just left of success. Left unchecked, it veers you away from your goals. It taps, pings, distracts and redirects you in subtle ways.

What am I talking about?

The Nudge.

The Nudge is the unhealthy snack at your eye level in the pantry.

It’s the audible email alert on your phone.

It is the arrangement of your living room furniture centering around your TV.

The Nudge is the social media app on the first screen of your tablet; the book reader on the last.

But…

… if you pay attention, you can use The Nudge to your advantage.

Notice what you put in your line of sight. Give yourself reminders that reinforce what you value. Center yourself around the things that move you toward success.

Put success in your own path.
