Additional quotes by James Clear

What comes naturally to me? For just a moment, ignore what you have been taught. Ignore what society has told you. Ignore what others expect of you. Look inside yourself and ask, “What feels natural to me? When have I felt alive? When have I felt like the real me?” No internal judgments or people-pleasing. No second-guessing or self-criticism. Just feelings of engagement and enjoyment. Whenever you feel authentic and genuine, you are headed in the right direction.

If you haven't started, then taking action is more important than finding a better strategy.

If you're already taking action, then ensuring you're working on the right thing is more important than working harder.

Your effort sets your floor. Your strategy sets your ceiling.
