Building habits

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

Fake it till you make it, means that you don't
want to do it and it is not really your identity.

There is no evidence

Delusional

There is pride in repetitions

Habits = identity

Short term - Good story

Long term - Result

Work is not wasted, it is stored
