It’s important to recognize where you stand over certain things. You should be able to make decisions based on your own intent and wisdom. However, this does not mean that you should ignore what your woman (and other people) advise to you.

Never Change Your Mind Just To Please Your Woman

The key here is to listen and take into account what she (they) has to say but don’t solely rely on it when making a decision. Listen to yourself as well! Take accountability and responsibility over your decisions! Doing so makes you more trustworthy and shows authenticity to people around you.

Accountability and Responsibility

It doesn’t matter if you make the right it wrong decision. What’s important is that you made your own decision based on your own knowledge and wisdom, you accept and lessen from its consequences, and improve your future actions based on it.

The Way of the Superior Man

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

The Secret to Achieving Your Goals

We all have our own set of goals. And the best way to achieve those goals is by first looking inward and understanding the systems that you follow everyday. By doing this, you are able to determine what little things you could incorporate in your life that would help you achieve your goals.

Your Goals and Your Systems

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.”

You don’t necessarily need to have grand interventions in your life in order to reach your goals. Sometimes you do, but most times, you just need to add small things in your system. You want to read more? Maybe reading articles/books/e-books in the morning is better than browsing social media. Integrate atomic habits into your systems as they are the building blocks of remarkable results.

Atomic Habits

One of my biggest takeaways from reading Atomic Habits ☺️

The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 4 million copies sold! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.
