Key Quotes and Notes from the book: Atomic Habits

On Identity, Systems, Actions and Habits

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.

The more pride you have in a particular aspect of your identity, the more motivated you will be to maintain the habits associated with it.

Your actions reveal your true motivations.
