Your habits define your future self from "summary" of Atomic Habits by James Clear

The decisions you make each day are like a single raindrop falling from the sky. They may seem inconsequential at first, but over time, they can carve a path through the rock. Your habits are the same way. They may appear to make little difference on any given day, but the impact they have over the course of months or years can be profound. Your habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. They are the small changes that accumulate into remarkable results. Just as money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits compound as you repeat them over time. This is why focusing on the small habits that shape your daily life is so important. They are the building blocks that form the foundation of your future self. The key to building good habits and breaking bad ones is not focusing on the outcomes you want to achieve, but on the systems that lead to those outcomes. Your goal might be to lose weight, but your system is your eating habits. Your goal might be to write a book, but your system is your writing schedule. By focusing on the habits that drive your desired results, you can make progress more effectively and sustainably. It is easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis. Too often, we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action. But the truth is, small habits can lead to remarkable changes over time. Success is the product of daily habits – not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.
