Making yourself NOT do things is harder then making yourself do things
It’s also more beneficial
It’s easy to DO something. Anyone can do something once, or for 5 minutes
It’s harder to UNDO. It’s harder to NOT do. It’s harder to break the chains of routines which reined you your entire life
You obviously have some bad habit
Part of your time is alloted to different actions designed to render you better off
Then part of your time you engage in the SAME behaviours you’ve been habitually engaging your entire life — the same bad habits — which don’t leave you better off.
It’s harder to change the latter. It is also more beneficial.
Destruction is easier then creation
You could be sculpting a beautiful sculpture for months — then destroy it with a single careless movement
You could be amassing wealth your entire life — then throw it all away with a single bad “investment”
Your bad habits are destructive
Destructive not merely on the surface, directly tangible level — but destructive for the totality of what you are becoming, becoming with your hard work.
How much more powerful is someone who can change not only some aspects of his life — but ALL aspects of his life?
Target your worst parts
Target your worst parts for obviously there’s the greatest opportunity for improvement
But target your worst parts because those parts are the bottleneck of your evolution
