I feel like this book has already done so much for me and I haven't even read it yet! A lot of the YouTubers i follow have been hyping this book and it's lessons up, so i finally got the ebook in my library.

''Confidence is a feeling, but ultimately confidence is the result of knowing that you’re not only willing to do the work, but that you actually will do the work. You won’t try to hack your way to success.

Hacking is great when you need to perform a simple task. Hacking is worthless when you need to acquire a complex skill or accomplish a huge goal. Plus, hacking doesn’t provide a jolt of motivation like gaining skill and expertise does. And hacking doesn’t help you gain confidence in your ability to accomplish other big goals whereas real success in one pursuit can yield greater confidence and motivation in other areas of life.''

''When you accept your weak points, when you accept your flaws, when you accept your imperfections . . . that’s when you can motivate yourself to make changes and improve.

Hide from your weaknesses, and you’ll always be weak. Accept your weaknesses and work to improve them, and you’ll eventually be stronger—and more motivated to keep improving.''

''We want to matter . . . but when we focus solely on mattering to other people—when we focus on seeing the reflection of our worth in the eyes of others—the difference that feeling makes in our lives is often fleeting. …The accomplishment, no matter how amazing, is just the cherry on top of the fulfillment cake. …

The road to a target, to a goal, or to a finish line is filled with countless hours of work and determination and sacrifice . . . and countless opportunities to feel good about what you have accomplished, each and every day along the way.

A slice of satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness can be found in the achievement . . . but the real source of consistent, lasting happiness lies in the process.''

‘‘I was in the grip of an insidious myth. I thought motivation was a prerequisite to starting a tedious learning process—a spark necessary to get me going. But motivation is really a result. Motivation is the fire that starts burning after you manually, painfully, coax it into existence, and it feeds on the satisfaction of seeing yourself make progress. The problem with waiting for motivation to strike is that it almost never comes with enough voltage to actually get you started.’’
