Build good habits to achieve your goals from "summary" of Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink
If you want to achieve your goals, you have to build good habits. It's that simple. You can't just rely on motivation or willpower to get you where you want to go. Those things are fleeting. They come and go like the wind. But habits? Habits are different. Habits are like a sturdy foundation that you build your life upon. They are the things you do automatically, without even thinking about them. And when you have good habits, you set yourself up for success. So, how do you build good habits? You start small. You identify the things you want to change in your life, and you break them down into manageable chunks. Then, you commit to doing those things every day, no matter what. You don't make excuses. You don't let yourself off the hook. You just do it. And over time, those small actions add up. They become second nature to you. They become a part of who you are. And before you know it, you've created a habit that will help you reach your goals.
But here's the thing about habits - they don't form overnight. They take time and effort to develop. You have to be patient. You have to be consistent. You have to be disciplined. You have to show up every single day and put in the work. And that's where most people fail. They give up too soon. They let their excuses and their doubts get the best of them. They don't have the discipline to see things through.
But if you want to achieve your goals, you have to be different. You have to be willing to do the hard work. You have to be willing to push through the discomfort and the resistance. You have to embrace the suck, as they say. Because that's where growth happens. That's where change happens. That's where you become the person you want to be. And it all starts with building good habits.
