The secret is that successful people formed the habit of
doing what unsuccessful people don’t like to do.
If you don’t deliberately form good habits then you will
unconsciously form bad ones.
Your burning desire to achieve your goal overrides the
pain of doing the things you don’t want to do.
1940 Albert Gray
