Habits are the tools that mold your character from "summary" of Atomic Habits by James Clear
Habits are the daily decisions that shape our identity. As philosopher William James said, "All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits." Your habits are how you embody your identity. They are how you define and reinforce the type of person you believe you are. The more you repeat a behavior, the more you reinforce the identity associated with that behavior. Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. This is why habits are crucial. They are the channel through which you can shape your identity. By establishing good habits, you can build a better version of yourself. Your habits are the tools you use to mold your character. Changing your habits means changing your identity. If you want to become someone new, you have to create new habits. Every time you perform a habit, you are casting a vote for the type of person you want to be. This is why small changes in habits can lead to significant changes in your identity over time. The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity. It's one thing to say, "I'm the type of person who wants this." It's something very different to say, "I'm the type of person who is this." The more you repeat a behavior, the more you reinforce the identity associated with that behavior. Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. They are the evidence of your identity. It is one thing to say you're healthy and fit. It's another to run a marathon. Your habits are how you embody your identity. They are how you make your beliefs real.
