“You, and only you are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are.” - Rachel Hollis

Key Insights

Stop Breaking Promises To Yourself

It’s way too common to make a promise to yourself that you simply don’t keep. You make excuses, life comes up, blah blah blah. But, really these promises are the ones you should keep over any.

These promises to yourself whether it’s about eating healthy or waking up earlier are set to help you achieve your goals. By breaking these promises, you are putting a stop to your progress.

“When you really want something, you will find a way. When you don’t really want something, you’ll find an excuse.” - Rachel Hollis

Try forming the habit of keeping the promises you make to yourself. You will feel much more productive and you’ll definitely have a higher respect for yourself.
