I'm getting into Atomic Habits by James Clear, & it's making me consider the specific moments when/where habit change becomes hard to instill. This is important because you have to get into the habit of leaving the military. Especially when you choose to transition, you have to instill a practice to get ready & complete those tasks which will help you command your transition.

Imagine you have the perfect day for that new routine lifestyle process habit. You want to plan the place you will have a perfect day. Without question. The problem becomes that day after you have that perfect day. What do you do next.

[00:07] There's a line between success & ambition.

[01:00] There's people who join the military on day one, knowing they want to be an Admiral or General. Great for them!

[02:20] The one thing we're never taught is to accept our own ambition  and how amazing we want to be individually may be different from the tribe. Accepting that is the first step to truly transitioning.

[04:40] A lot of military leaders talk about their ambition in uniform, wrapped into service for America. Why not talk about that same level ambition after you get out?

[00:28] On my desk right now I keep a picture. That picture has two cups of coffee on it. One cup of coffee has no logo, no labeling. The price underneath that cup is $1.25. The second cup is different. The second cup has a Starbucks logo on it and underneath the price is $3.25.
