“The real reason that habits matter is that your habits are how you embody a particular identity. So every action you take is like a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” ~ James Clear, Entrepreneur and bestselling author of Atomic Habits
James Clear, New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits, has inspired readers to change their health behaviors for the better. He puts it simply:
“Who we are reflects our habits.”
With his helpful metaphors and refreshingly straightforward and sustainable mindset techniques inspired by psychology greats, he contends that we can all build habits that make us shine.
“Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” ~ Jacob Riis
The boulder did not crack just because the one hundred and first hit, but the accumulative effects of the previous hits. Thus, you must have the mindset of patience and wait for the results that will come. Be patient and let things accumulate.
Habits matter are how you habit are how you embody a particular identity.
