    “Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross.  It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

      “Your actions reveal how badly you want something.  If you keep saying something is a priority but you never act on it, then you don’t really want it.  It’s time to have an honest conversation with yourself.  Your actions reveal your true motivations.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

        “Being curious is better than being smart.  Being motivated and curious counts for more than being smart because it leads to action.  Being smart will never deliver results on its own because it doesn’t get you to act.  It is desire, not intelligence, that prompts behavior.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

          “Can one tiny change transform your life?  It’s unlikely you would say so.  But what if you made another?  And another?  And another?  At some point, you will have to admit that your life was transformed by one small change.  The holy grail of habit change is not a single 1 percent improvement, but a thousand of them.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

            “Habits deliver numerous benefits, but the downside is that they can lock us into our previous patterns of thinking and acting—even when the world is shifting around us.  Everything is impermanent.  Life is constantly changing, so you need to periodically check in to see if your old habits and beliefs are still serving you.  A lack of self-awareness is poison.  Reflection and review is the antidote.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

              “I can guarantee that if you manage to start a habit and keep sticking to it, there will be days when you feel like quitting.  When you start a business, there will be days when you don’t feel like showing up.  When you’re at the gym, there will be sets that you don’t feel like finishing.  When it’s time to write, there will be days that you don’t feel like typing.  But stepping up when it’s annoying or painful or draining to do so, that’s what makes the difference between a professional and an amateur.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

                “Really successful people feel the same lack of motivation as everyone else.  The difference is that they still find a way to show up despite the feelings of boredom.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

                  “The greatest threat to success is not failure but boredom.  We get bored with habits because they stop delighting us.  The outcome becomes expected.  And as our habits become ordinary, we start derailing our progress to seek novelty.  Perhaps this is why we get caught up in a never-ending cycle, jumping from one workout to the next, one diet to the next, one business idea to the next.  As soon as we experience the slightest dip in motivation, we begin seeking a new strategy—even if the old one was still working.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits

                      “Genes can’t make you successful if you’re not doing the work.  Yes, it’s possible that the ripped trainer at they gym has better genes, but if you haven’t put in the same reps, it’s impossible to say if you have been dealt a better or worse genetic hand.  Until you work as hard as those you admire, don’t explain away their success as luck.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits
