“At some point, everyone faces the same challenge on the journey of self-improvement: you have to fall in love with boredom.”

Getting 1 percent better every day counts for a lot in the long-run.

Success is the product of daily habits – not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.

If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly—and, in many cases, automatically.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

Your behaviors are usually a reflection of your identity.

Being motivated and curious counts for more than being smart because it leads to action.

I didn’t start out as a writer. I became one through my habits.

Being specific about what you want and how you will achieve it helps you say no to things that derail progress, distract your attention, and pull you off course.

But perhaps the best way to measure your progress is with a habit tracker.

You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.
