"On any given day, you may struggle with your habits because you're too busy or too tired or too overwhelmed or hundreds of other reasons. Over the long run, the real reason you fail to stick with habits is that your self-image gets in the way. This is why you can’t get too attached to one version of your identity. Progress requires unlearning. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity."
— James Clear, Atomic Habits
"Men take on the nature and the habits and the power of thought of those with whom they associate in a spirit of sympathy and harmony."
— Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
"Master yourself – your habits and tendencies – and you can accomplish what you will."
— Dan Millman
"It is who you are becoming each day based on the decisions that you are making and the actions that you are taking, that is determining who you are going to be for the rest of your life."
— Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents

"How can we design a world where it’s easy to do what’s right? Redesign your life so the actions that matter most are also the actions that are easiest to do."
— James Clear, Atomic Habits
"If someone is not experiencing the levels of success they want, they simply haven’t committed to putting the necessary habits in place, which will create the results they want."
— Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents
"It is a simple two-step process: Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins."
— James Clear, Atomic Habits
“Habits are important. Up to 90 percent of our everyday behavior is based on habit. Nearly all of what we do each day, every day, is simply habit. We all have good habits and bad habits, but if nearly 90 percent of what we do each day is habit, the only way to effect real change in our lives is to effect real change in our habits. The good news is that we can learn to effectively change bad habits and establish good habits that will make us more successful.”
- Jack D. Hodge, The Power of Habit
"Good habits and virtues are eternal joy-making qualities."
— Paramahansa Yogananda, Living Fearlessly
"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of."
- C. S. Lewis
"All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us. And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time."
- James Clear, Atomic Habits
"Dynamic people take more actions in one morning than most people take in a month. The goal is to take many more actions in a given time period than you normally do. Start slowly, try to take even just two actions in a day and increase from there."
- Phil Stutz, Lessons for Living
"Dozens of studies show that willpower is the single most important keystone habit for individual success."
- Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit
"Do something every day on your most important goal. Do something seven days a week, thirty days a month. Never let a day go by where you don’t do something that moves you at least one step forward toward something that is important to you."
- Brian Tracy, Personal Success
"Everything you do on a day-to-day basis, every decision you make, every action you take or fail to take, accumulates over time and ultimately manifests in your success, or lack thereof."
- Brian Tracy, Personal Success
"By going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, we align ourselves with our body's natural circadian rhythm, promoting better sleep quality and daytime alertness."
- Shawn Stevenson, Sleep Smarter
"As people strengthened their willpower muscles in one part of their lives— in the gym, or a money management program—that strength spilled over into what they ate or how hard they worked. Once willpower became stronger, it touched everything."
— Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit
