3 things that you are grateful for:

- For fruits

- For a long sleep

- For the morning walk

1 thing that you can do better:

- Focus

Notes:

Every decision is a vote for the person you want to become.

You get what you work for.

Last notes from Atomic Habits:

Awareness comes before desire

Happiness is simply the absence of desire

It is the idea of pleasure that we chase

Peace occurs when you don’t turn your observations into problems

With a big enough why you can overcome any how

Being curious is better than being smart

Emotions drive behavior

We can only be rational and logical after we have been emotional

Your response tends to follow your emotions

Suffering drives progress

Your actions reveal how badly you want something

Reward is on the other side of sacrifice

Self-control is difficult because it is not satisfying

Our expectations determine our satisfaction

Satisfaction = Liking — Wanting

The pain of failure correlates to the height of expectation

Feelings come both before and after the behavior

Cue > Craving (Feeling) > Response > Reward (Feeling)

Desire initiates. Pleasure sustains

Hope declines with experience and is replaced by acceptance
