The meaning
Big changes are built out of small, boring repeats. The front says it in one line: change your habits to change your life. The banner across the middle adds the timing: building tomorrow today.
The back explains how it works. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become. The historian Will Durant summed up Aristotle the same way: we are what we repeatedly do.
The design
The front shows a large star burst, like a compass pointing every way at once, with a banner reading Building Tomorrow Today across it. The back sets the words in rings, with CHOOSE, THINK and DO in larger letters at the center.
On good days and hard days
- On good days, it helps you keep the streak going and remember that today's small win is tomorrow's new normal.
- On hard days, when you slip, it reminds you that one bad day doesn't erase the habit. Pick it back up today; that is how you become who you want to be.
Carry it
Use it as a check in: each time you touch it, ask whether what you are doing right now builds the person you want to be. One customer calls it a great fidget piece to settle the mind that also starts good conversations.
Give it
It makes a good New Year gift, or a gift for someone starting a new routine, training plan or sober stretch. One customer has bought four of our coins, two for themselves and two for their husband, and says every one keeps them going.
Specs
- Diameter: 1.54 in (39 mm), about the size of a silver dollar
- Thickness: 2.7 mm
- Weight: about 1 oz (28 g)
- Material: brass alloy (Antique Silver, Antique Bronze) or solid copper (Antique Copper)
- Made: die struck, minted in the USA
- Each coin is antiqued with a special patina so it looks like it has already been in circulation. The patina never settles the same way twice, so no two coins look exactly alike. Small variations in color and shading are normal, and they are what make your coin one of a kind.
Questions

What does “we are what we repeatedly do” mean?
That character is built by repetition: the habits you keep become who you are. The line comes from Will Durant's summary of Aristotle.
