Chirag’s Reviews > Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones > Status Update

Habits are necessary, but not sufficient for mastery.

"The first mistake is never the one that ruins you. It is the spiral of repeated mistakes that follows. Missing once is an accident. Missing twice is the start of a new habit."

"A habit can be completed in just a few seconds, but it can also shape the actions that you take for minutes or hours afterward."

"It’s better to do less than you hoped than to do nothing at all."

"Every habit is just an obstacle to getting what you really want."

"You don’t actually want the habit itself. What you really want is the outcome the habit delivers."

"If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection."

"The best is the enemy of the good."

Surround yourself with people who have the habits you want to have yourself. You'll rise together.

The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least.
