Every interesting outcome in my life was unpredictable and was the result of good habits, strictly practiced.
This is the opposite of “vision” “big, hairy, audacious goals” and “accomplishments.”
The best kind of success is continuous, every day, not occasional.
I meet a lot of people searching for something (career, relationship, etc). And yet, when it’s put in front of them, they won’t pursue it because they fear pain (getting hurt, failure, etc.). So they unconsciously (and expensively) trade self protection for misery.
