#ATOMIC HABITS QUOTES SERIES#
Your habits are just a series of automatic solutions that solve the problems and stresses you face regularly. “Whenever you face a problem repeatedly, your brain begins to automate the process of solving it.The former is, to some degree, out of your control the latter is flexible and can serve as a cornerstone that you can build a life around. Setting a goal like getting 100,000 visitors a month or playing guitar to a packed stadium is fine, but what’s more important is to build a system that can facilitate a lifelong passion for improvement. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game.” “The purpose of setting goals is to win the game.You’re playing the long game of lifestyle change, not the get-rich-quick scheme of a miraculous overnight success story. Vast and visible improvement doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a hallmark of any compounding process: the most powerful outcomes are delayed.”Īnother benefit of habit tracking is that during the crucial beginning stages of starting a new habit you have a visual representation of the progress you’re making, even if you haven’t lost 20 lbs., made a blog post, or improved your chess game.

In the early and middle stages of any quest, there is often a Valley of Disappointment. “…habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold and unlock a new level of performance.And during these times, it’s even more important to track your habits (insert link) so you can see that even when things are tough, you’re still making progress. The systems you build through habit improvement are what will sustain you during your trying times. Hopefully not ‘baseball bat to the face’ kinds of setbacks, but setbacks are going to happen. You’re going to deal with bad days and setbacks. But with better habits, anything is possible.” With the same habits, you’ll end up with the same results. We all deal with setbacks but in the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits. This injury was one of mine, and the experience taught me a critical lesson: changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years.
