The Japanese Secret to Lasting Change—Small Steps to Big Goals

As Marie Kondo has said, “The term kaizen refers to incremental progress toward your goal . . . . You can take the first small step toward your dream today and keep taking small steps to grow your passions every day after.”

It’s hard to achieve big goals, and it’s even harder to do so without being overcome with self-doubt. But achieving our goals—and pursuing our passions—needn’t be a strenuous activity. Kaizen is the way! Kaizen is a flexible and accessible approach, and kaizen will mean something different to each reader. The very nature of kaizen is that each person’s experience will be unique, though the end result will be the same: lasting, positive improvement.
