When you can't win by being better, you can win by being different.

The amount of time you have been performing a habit is not as important as the number of times you have performed it.

You know that it is the work you did long ago -when it seemed that you weren't making any progress- that makes the jump today possible.

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. This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change. Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That's the paradox of making small improvements.

Complaining about not achieving success despite working hard is like complaining about an ice cube not melting when you heated it from 25 to 31 degrees. All the action happens at 32 degrees.
