"Boredom"
When we start any habit initially we fill energetic and motivated but with passage of time at some point we face boredom. This is due to repeating same activity each and everyday.

This is here the difference arise between best and worst. The best didn't give up even having boredom.

We all want immediate results. But this book elobrately discussed that the more immediate pleasure you get from an action, there is probability that end consequence is disastrous.

We do we repeat any habit or behavior?

The answer is "satisfaction". We tend to repeat those behavior when the experience is satisfying. Conversely, if such experience is not satisfying then we have little reason to repeat.

This pleasure and satisfaction tecahe our brains that the behavior is worth remembering and repeating.

James Clear has mentioned about "four laws of behaviour change" -
- make it obvious
- make it attractive
- make it easy
- make it satisfying

These four laws are apt to inculcate new habit.

- embedded with us from so long time
- getting rid requires lot of effort and motivation.
Same works with good habit. New good habit required lot of motivation and efforts.
Most effecive way-
Reducing friction and making the habit easier and simple. Fit the habit into flow of your life.

We want outcome not the habit!

In reality, we don't want any habit rather we want outcome from that habit. We develop habit as a way to fulfill outcome.

For example, we want to meditate in order to improve focus and to stay calm. Here, we want the outcome from mediation i.e. improve focus and stay calm.
