"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

"Although it takes a fair amount of willpower to CREATE a habit, it takes considerably (!) less to MAINTAIN it. Knowing that is gold. Then, we just need to identify the ONE behavior that will have the most positive impact in our lives and stick to it until we’ve locked it in as a habit."

— Gary Keller, The ONE Thing

"Accomplishment requires discipline."

- Phil Stutz

“To achieve what you want, you will have to do what you don’t want, over and over. To gain all the great comforts in life, you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.”

"Elite performers don’t negotiate with themselves. They know that small, daily actions, taken with 101% commitment, create extraordinary results."

- Brian Johnson, Areté

“Don’t stop when you want to quit, stop when you’re done. Make that your identity and there’s nothing you can’t do.”

- Tom Bilyeu

"The truth about success is that our ability to achieve extraordinary results in the future lies in stringing together powerful moments, one after the other. What you do in any given moment determines what you experience in the next. Your “present now” and all “future nows” are undeniably determined by the priority you live in the moment. The deciding factor in determining how you set that priority is who wins the battle between your present and future selves."

- Gary Keller & Jay Papasan, The ONE Thing

“Even the best among us don’t always want to do what’s best for them. The difference, of course, is that they do it anyway.”

- Brian Johnson, Areté

"Studies show that bright lines—non-negotiable rules—reduce decision fatigue and strengthen willpower. When the choice is already made, you can focus your energy where it matters most—on taking consistent action."

- Brian Johnson, Areté

“With our bad habits, the immediate outcome usually feels good, but the ultimate outcome feels bad. With good habits, it is the reverse: the immediate outcome is unenjoyable, but the ultimate outcome feels good.”

- From The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins

“Exercise and health comes down to one simple rule - you don’t have to feel like it. You just have to do it.”

- From The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins

“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”
