What comes to mind when you hear the word “streak?”

One of the first images that comes to my mind is the tail behind a shooting star. It leaves a trail of light behind it, showing you its progression through the sky.

You can take that same metaphor and apply it to any part of your life:

• Developing a daily creative practice (painting, drawing, writing, composing, etc.)
• Growing a business (daily content creation, calling 5 people every single day)
• Going on a weekly date with your spouse and not missing a week
• Incorporating intentional movement or exercise into your daily routine

Just like with the comet, you’ll have a trail behind you, showing your growth and development over time. You can see where you started and how far you’ve come.

And the longer your streaks become, the harder they are to break. Can you imagine exercising every single day for 150 days? How terrible would you feel if you made it that far only to break it?

Jerry Seinfeld is famous for his creative streak: starting in the 1980s, he committed to writing one new joke every single day. That commitment seems to have worked out pretty well for him: today he’s worth in excess of $950 million.

My challenge for you is this: pick a habit you believe would have a major, positive impact on your life. Commit to it, track it on a calendar or an app, and get to a point where you’d be devastated if you broke it.
