3 things that you are grateful for:

- 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
