What controls your attention, controls your life

When it comes to breaking old habits and starting new ones, remember to be patient with yourself. If you've spent twenty, thirty, or forty years or more repeating the behaviors you're now trying to change, you've got to expect it's going to take time and effort before you see lasting results.

If you truly want to be successful, spend less time following the lives of other people and more time leading your own.

If all the people around you are happy with you, you are not doing great work. When you stop being like other people, they stop liking you. That's just how it goes. There's no escaping it. And it's okay. What you need to understand about that disapproval is that it's a sign you're doing something right.

And as long as you’re making choices unconsciously, you can’t consciously choose to change that ineffective behavior and turn it into productive habits.

Psychological studies reveal that 95 percent of everything we feel, think, and achieve is a result of a learned habit!

In essence, you make your choices, and then your choices make you.
