Highlighted Quotes:
-"Many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity. It is not always obvious when and where to take action. Some people spend their entire lives waiting for the time to be right to make an improvement."
-"The brain’s tendency to prioritize the present moment means you can’t rely on good intentions. Instead, ‘disciplined’ people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations."
-”’What’s the difference between the best athletes and everyone else?’ I asked. ‘What do the really successful people do that most don’t?’
He mentioned the factors you might expect: genetics, luck, talent. But then he said something I wasn’t expecting:
‘At some point it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day, doing the same lifts over and over and over.’”
