Direction not destination

One of the most subtle and effective tools he is using among us today is the convincing of some that they have arrived, they have reached their destination, they have earned a rest, they aren’t needed anymore, they are out of danger, they are beyond temptation, and they can take pride in their accomplishments.

Pg 27 You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. If your systems are not daily or at least weekly and incremental it's very difficult to change yourself and your habits. No one 'goes to the gym once a week for 5 hours ' or 'brushes their teeth once a month for 1 hour' because we know small daily efforts compound into change.  P. 36 Over the long run, however, the real reason you fail to stick with habits is that your self-image gets in the way.
