With the same habits, you’ll end up with the same results. But with better habits, anything is possible.” “One day, we just become sick of the reality we have created for ourselves and start to think, ‘isn’t there more to life than this?’” “In the search for a job, I found myself. I found that I was worth so much more than a job, and that no matter how much my salary was, there was no price that could be put on me.” Episode references: Atomic Habits: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits Learn more about your ad choices.
