It's living with the mentality that there is no best only better. There is always room for improvement. This is not the same as innovation, not a big leap (like the biggest loser, 300lbs in 3 months). It's a lifestyle where every day you are consciously trying to make small incremental improvements that, like compounding interest, add up over time. I am truly sorry I cannot be here everyday.
