Atomic Habits is a book written by James Clear. I loved the book and thought I'd provide some quotes from the book that I deem worthy for anyone looking to improve.
Improving by 1% isn’t particularly notable, sometimes it isn’t even noticeable – but it can be far more meaningful, especially in the long run.
Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.
Habits are a double-edged sword. Bad habits can cut you down just as easily as good habits can build you up.
The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game.
It is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.
Every action you take is a vote on the type of person you wish to become.
You don’t have to be the victim of your environment. You can also be the architect of it.
Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross. It is a system to improve, an endless process to refine.
Be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it.
Sometimes success is less about making good habits easy and more about making bad habits hard.
One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.
The costs of your good habits are in the present. The costs of your bad habits are in the future.
You do it because it’s who you are and it feels good to be you. The more a habit becomes part of your life, the less you need outside encouragement to follow through. Incentives can start a habit. Identity sustains a habit.
Keep moving,
