The connective tissue between your failures and your successes is the lessons you learn along the way. It is only by going through your early attemp… - James Clear

Your identity can hold you back:

-I'm terrible with directions.
-I have a sweet tooth.
-I'm bad at math.

…or build you up:

-I'm the type of person who doesn't miss workouts.
-I finish what I start.
-I read every day.

Build habits that reinforce your desired identity.

Commitment makes good things better and bad things worse.

The more “all-in” you are on a good relationship, the better it becomes. The more you commit to a toxic relationship, the deeper you get trapped.

The more you invest yourself in fulfilling work, the more your effort fuels you. The harder you work on a bad project or in an unsatisfying role, the more of a grind it becomes.

But perhaps the best way to measure your progress is with a habit tracker.
