Of All Habits, These Three Have Contributed the Most to My Success
And two of them are barely talked about.
I’m 20 and I consider my present life to be pretty successful.
A high-paying job I enjoy. Zero debts. A fun and profitable side-hustle. Planned investing. Solid 8 hours of sleep every night. Blissful 2 hours smashing weights in the gym. An active dating life. Quality time with friends and family. And ample leisure time.
This lifestyle is no accident — it’s the result of my habits compounding over time. That’s exactly what success is
The compound interest of good habits.
The power of compounding is insane. By investing just $100 every month and with a realistic yearly growth rate of 12%, you’d have close to a million dollars in 40 years.
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it” — Albert Einstein
Habits are like those $100 monthly investments — they don’t seem like much but compound to unimaginable results with time.
All habits aren’t created equal though. Of the many I’ve had, only three have contributed to over 90% of my success in life.
