Good article. Thanks. I have other perspective on quote: "Strategy: SHIFT THE MINDSET! Shift the words to “you get to” rather than “you have to.” For example: Francisco “gets to” have a cigar after he has completed his work, read a chapter from a book, and completed a workout."
The Clear's point is not about the reward. We are not changing from "I have to have a cigar" to "I get to have a cigar". We are changing from: "I must workout" to "I get to workout". Or from "I have to read a chapter from a book" to "I get to read a chapter from a book". We are changing perspective on the (difficult positive) habit we are trying to do and thus making it more attractive.
"It isn’t, “I have to do homework,” instead it is, “I get to exercise my brain, improve myself, and prepare for my future.” Instead of saying, “I have to go to the gym,” say, “I get to build my endurance, become healthier, and feel better about myself.”"

completely agree. You said it here much better than I tried to explain it! Thanks for your input!
