Habits: Are they the key?

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. -Colin Powell

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. – Will Durant based on Aristotle’s teachings

Wouldn’t it be great to be gifted? In fact… It turns out that choices lead to habits. Habits become talents. Talents are labeled gifts. You’re not born this way, you get this way. -Seth Godin

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. -John C. Maxwell

Looks like habits might an important linchpin to it all. Success, failure, weight loss, weight gain, team work, building something or having things crumble. We shouldn’t be so wishy washy about the habits we form for ourselves, our children, and our teams.

Turns out they may just be the building blocks for their future.
