Success is the product of daily
habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.Many of us are under the impression that success is the culmination of gainful encounters and one-in-a-lifetime opportunities. We often assume that success requires some degree of luck. These is where habits come in. Habits are powerful because they help you achieve goals without replying on abstractions like luck, efforts, and willpower.(I'm not trying to nullify the power of efforts neither am I making the willpower useless)just saying that harnessing the power of habits is another great way to pursue success because habit itself is a compound interest of self improvement and the accumulation of self improvement leads to success.
