3 Ideas For Better Habits
How to Sustain a Habit
Best-selling author, James Clear, on building habits.
“You do it because it’s who you are and it feels good to be you. The more a habit becomes part of your life, the less you need outside encouragement to follow through. Incentives can start a habit. Identity sustains a habit.”

The Reason You Have to Keep Going
Japanese best-selling writer, Haruki Murakami, on why hard times make us better.
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

Why So Few People Think
Best-selling self-help writer, Darius Foroux, on how our life is influenced by our thoughts.
"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. Thinking is not only hard – it’s the single most important thing in life. Remember: The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our lives.”
