same way: through a commitment to tiny, sustainable, unrelenting
improvements.
Success is not a goal to reach or a finish line to cross. It is a system to
improve, an endless process to refine. In Chapter 1, I said, “If you’re having
trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your
system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t
want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.”
As this book draws to a close, I hope the opposite is true. With the Four
Laws of Behavior Change, you have a set of tools and strategies that you
can use to build better systems and shape better habits. Sometimes a habit
will be hard to remember and you’ll need to
make it obvious. Other times
you won’t feel like starting and you’ll need to
make it attractive. In many
cases, you may find that a habit will be too difficult and you’ll need to
make
it easy. And sometimes, you won’t feel like sticking with it and you’ll need
to
make it satisfying.
