My kids are still at an age when they do the occasional “spot the difference” puzzle.
They have two pictures in front of them that have 5-10 subtle differences and they need to circle the disparities between the two.
Let’s play a different version of spot the difference.
Look at yourself now and five years ago.
Look at your health, intellect, career, relationships, emotional intelligence, expertise, finances, faith, the progress that you’ve made towards your goals.
Can you notice the differences?
Are they significant?
Have you developed or regressed?
Can other people notice?
The challenge isn’t to find differences that are infinitesimal and difficult to see with the naked eye.
It’s to ensure that the variances between yourself today and five years ago are so stark that we can’t help but notice and be inspired.

One of the greatest helps to determine how much you have changed throughout your life is to keep a journal. Among other things, a journal gives you a word picture of your thoughts, ideas, opinions at a particular moment in time. That way you are able to keep track of the small, incremental changes that take place on a regular basis.
If they are subtle enough, you may not realise just how much you have changed unless you have something you can refer back to, like a journal.
