WHY IS IT so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones? - James Clear

People frequently get what they deserve, but it doesn't feel like it because the unspoken rule is that you only deserve it if you have
(1) the courage to attempt it,
(2) the guts to ask for it, and
(3) the willingness try again when it doesn't work out the first time.

Stop paying so much attention to what everyone else is doing and run your own race. How much time is spent reading other people's posts on social media, watching other people's exploits in the news, listening to other people's ideas on podcasts? Go have coffee with a friend. Go make something. Go outside. All those hours spent looking at someone else's life on a screen could be used to take action in your own life.

My friend, who sometimes shares his writing with me, once said my feedback always falls into three categories:

1. Make it shorter.
2. Make it more appealing.
3. How could it apply to more people?
