"Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement."

"It's not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement. Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress."

Endless Refinement

"The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become."

Who You Wish To Become

"The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it."

"An atomic habit is a little habit that is part of a larger system. Just as atoms are the building blocks of molecules, atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results."

Building Blocks

"You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems."

Your Systems

"The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity."

"Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits. Your weight is a lagging measure of your eating habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits. “

Lagging Indicators

"You don't have to be the victim of your environment. You can also be the architect of it."

Be The Architect

"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."
