Targets are the enemy of habits. Don’t set targets, set habits. Setting targets instead of habits makes us forget what kind of person we want to become.
We not only want to run marathons, but we also want to become fit. We not only want to be sculpted, but we also want to see how disciplined we are. The more we get the process right, the closer we get to the targets. The more we run after targets, the more we sign up for feeling hollow once we achieve them.
Habits hire us forever and take us higher whereas targets tame us and leave us clueless after we achieve them.
