Quotes About Habit

I tried to whittle this collection down, thinking that having fewer would make more of an impact…but each quote is such a wonderful lesson and each speaker such an amazing and motivational teacher, I just couldn’t take any out.

So, read through the quotes and let each really sink in.  There’s a great deal of wisdom coming your way - as soon as I get out of the way!

Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away.” Kenich Ohmae
