It's choosing to ignore the results that you could be having, the potential that you could be fulfilling.
And most of our outcomes in life are a lagging measure of the habits that precede them.
So...
Your bank account is a lagging measure of your financial habits.
Your physical fitness is a lagging measure of your training habits.
Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your reading habits.
It's the thing that is the result of the action.
Almost all things that we have now are a result of the daily life, the daily system that we've been following for the last, say, six months or a year or two years.
You know, it's the things that you do each day that lead you to the outcomes that you have right now.
Now, look, I'm not saying that habits are the only thing that matter in life, right?
You have luck and randomness.
You've got misfortune.
There are all sorts of things that can influence the final outcome.
But...
By definition, luck and randomness are not under your control and your habits are.
And the only reasonable, rational approach in life is focus on the pieces of the situation that are within your control.
And so we also badly, this is interesting thing in life.
We also badly want better results.
You know, we also badly want to make more money or double productivity or be fit or reduce stress.
But the irony is the results are not actually the thing that needs to change.
