    Meilleure citation de Consistency Over Perfection: Building Lasting Habits

    “

    The most successful people aren't the ones with the most willpower—they're the ones who've designed their lives to make good choices inevitable and bad choices inconvenient. Success isn't about perfection; it's about showing up imperfectly rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

    ”
