I love the invitation to sit with the why behind each and every goal. As a busines coach, I actually spend a lot of time with my clients calling forward their motivation. It's that Northstar, and knowing why your goals matter in the first place, that will drive you forward. Often, through that process, we discover old patterns: ideas instilled by society and parents, that no longer serve.

Just started reading Atomic Habits. So far there’s stuff I like and stuff I don’t but I REALLY like that line about levels

Great piece and I totally agree with it.

My why came when I no longer wanted my time to be fully rented to my current job, and started building a future through investments for the long run, where optionality will allow time to be less rented and more negotiable.

You start with why and it gives you direction. You slowly create systems, through repetition, that gives it durability. And your behavior will give proof that the why was worth all of it.
