The Only Way To Become Excellent

From the book Atomic Habits by James Clear…

When a habit is truly important to you, you have to be willing to stick to it in any mood. Professionals take action even when the mood isn’t right. They might not enjoy it, but they find a way to put the reps in. 

There have been a lot of sets that I haven’t felt like finishing, but I’ve never regretted doing the workout. There have been a lot of articles I haven’t felt like writing, but I’ve never regretted publishing on schedule. There have been a lot of days I’ve felt like relaxing, but I’ve never regretted showing up and working on something that was important to me. 

The only way to become excellent is to be endlessly fascinated by doing the same thing over and over. You have to fall in love with boredom.

So if your goal is to become excellent in your career, try pick one that is endlessly fascinating to you. 

Is there something you’re really into that many other people would find boring or annoying? 🤔
