Possible thoughts for the Day.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Will Durant
Make good habits, they're as hard to break as bad ones.

Habits change your life, but they do not guarantee success.. correlation isn’t causation.. So when I talk about habits, I don’t talk about outcomes. I talk about changing our actual behavior so that it improves the quality of our lives.. Only you can decide what a good habit is — for you.. Before trying to adopt a new habit, ask yourself this: “Will doing this improve the quality of my life?” For a new habit to stick, we need a reason to change. And it can’t just be a superficial reason.

Think of stories of captive baby elephants, who are sometimes chained to trees when they’re young. As adults, they are freed from their bindings but still spend their lives hovering around their home base. The irony? As they mature, even just a bit, they possess the brute force to rip the tree out from its roots and free themselves. But they don’t. They may have tried this when they were babies and failed, so the optics of the chains convince them they’re still incapable.. The problem is not that we are stuck. It’s that we become obsessed with familiar patterns, and that’s what sabotages our lives.. The cruel trick of life is that as long as we are hovering near the tree we were once chained to (to use the elephant metaphor again), there will always be a gnawing sense that we are missing out and not quite doing all that we are meant to do. . But know this: You do not sabotage your life because you are stupid. You do not sabotage your life because you don’t know what you want. You do not sabotage your life because you are incapable. You sabotage your life when you become so used to your own familiar patterns that you fail to find the strength to endure the discomfort of breaking them.
