Habits vs. Goals, A Look at the Benefits of a Systematic Approach to Life

Summary:

• Habits are algorithms operating in the background that power our lives. Good habits help us reach our goals more effectively and efficiently. Bad ones makes things harder or prevent success entirely. Habits powerfully influence our automatic behavior.
• When we want to change an aspect of our lives, setting a goal is often the logical first step. Despite being touted by many a self-help guru, this approach has some problematic facets.
• The purpose of a well-crafted set of habits is to ensure that we reach our goals with incremental steps.
• Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.
