Good habits yield positive results over the long term. Bad habits only bring short-term gain.

Habits are regular practices or routines that define our whole life and the outcomes we achieve; therefore, they are the concept of self-improvement.

Small habit changes can produce outsized effects that improve or degrade quality of life.

Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because I don’t want to change, but because I have the wrong system for change.

My habits are intertwined with my personal identity.

If I want to break a bad habit it is useful to use a commitment device, this is a preventative measure to limits future actions.

All my outcomes are a delayed reaction to my long-standing habits. If I want to change my outcomes, I need to change my habits.

How I talk about a new habit, even to myself, affects the implementation of the habit. With the right mindset and a clear vision “Why do I want to implement a new habit?”, it will become much easier and successful.

A new habit is more likely to become ingrained if it’s easy, hence start with very small first steps and establish them.

Environments can be designed to better support good habits or establish new habits.

Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if I’m willing to stick with them.

If I want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on my system instead.

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

The Four Laws of Behavior Change are a simple set of rules we can use to build better habits. They are 1. make it obvious 2. make it attractive 3. make it easy 4 make it satisfying

My environment is the invisible hand that shapes my behavior.

The long, dull, monotonous years of middle-aged prosperity or middle-aged adversity are excellent campaigning weather for the devil.

The bed is a bundle of paradoxes we go to it with reluctance yet we quit it with regret we make up our minds every night to leave it early but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.

My commitment is to strive to lean on the Lord with my whole heart, reading His word daily and earnestly seeking His will in my life.

If people see anything I do and the way I live my life, there is no ambiguity about me being a feminist.

The news comes somewhat late, but I'm glad to hear it nevertheless.

If you believe that weight loss requires self deprivation Im going to teach you otherwise.

We have had an unspeakably delightful journey one of those journeys which seem to divide ones life in two by the new ideas they suggest and the new views of interest they open.

I hate movies that tell people what to think. I'm proud that Democrats thought 'Thank You For Smoking' was their film and Republicans thought it was theirs. I'm proud that pro-choice people thought 'Juno' was their film and pro-life people thought it was theirs.

I watch a movie or a T.V. show or whatever; if it's good, I like to watch it more than once, and it's always fun to catch something you didn't see initially.

I took Japanese in high school. I'm Chinese, though, and I just fell in love with the language and the culture.

I'm more comfortable revealing myself than hiding behind metaphors. I respond to artists who reveal something of themselves.

I hope this doesn't sound pretentious, but I very often like the way Europeans make movies. I think sometimes that don't they care about having to clean certain things.

Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.

People Underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing.

I just said, 'I need to do something because staying up and watching YouTube and late night TV is not cool,' so I just decided to write a script.

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

People never think of entertainers as being human. When you walk out on stage, the audience think, 'Nothing can go wrong with them.' We get sick and we have headaches just like they do. When we are cut, we bleed.

A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.

I felt rich when I was 20 years old and my wife was paying my bills. Just being in a band, I've always felt blessed.

I think we were just coming out and being ourselves, instead of operating within boundaries that other people had created. We decided to do away with those boundaries.

It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.

I'm a competitive person and I love the challenge of mastering new things.

Change is the only constant, and to turn one's back and pretend that it is not coming is an exercise in futility.

As forgiving as they are, Sagittarius doesn't mind distancing themselves from people, so don't test them.
