How it will change you
Habits = identity
There is pride in repetitions
Fake it till you make it, means that you don't
want to do it and it is not really your identity.
Delusional
There is no evidence
When you do something you cast a vote for the
type of person you are. If you keep casting
these votes. You get your identity. You are the
evidence of these votes
