“A hair here, a hair there, and soon you have a beard” – Lebanese volk saying.

Differentiating the Goal from the Habit

Comprehending that the effort to establish a habit does not bring one quickly to the goal is no easy task. Writing a couple of sentences each day will not make me a writer; it will, however, establish a writing habit. I remind myself of this fact every day and yet I seem to forget it again in the morning.

We were raised to desire great goals, not to establish good habits.
