You are not what you did, you are what you repeatedly do!

Don’t let one off mistakes define you..

i was at the gym the other day and there was a young kid that was pushing the sled
this kid's fourteen years old i saw one of the other guys at the gym talking to him and it's his dad i go what school is your son go to because he's not going to school today you know you got in trouble at school and so he's spending solutions like his dad sitting because i want you to push it there and push it back and push it there and push back until i come back so i finished my workout i was about to walk out the door
you know i'm gonna turn around turn around go talk to him i said hey what's up i said hey listen to i said your dad told me that you're in trouble right now i said i don't know what you did i said honestly i don't care let me just tell you this
you are not what you did you are what you repeatedly do
said we all make mistakes we all do stupid stuff when i was your age i did a bunch of stupid stuff too
you want to create your future with your future not your past most people do is we create our future from our past past mistakes past failures past outs past pains
the success is an identity process so if you think you're a loser you're not gonna show up and play like a winner if you think you're when you're not going to roll over and quit like a loser
james wrote the book atomic habits and he says
there's two boys one of which stole the candy and they said the child said did you still can't little boys that i didn't steal the candy
a little boy did you still can little boy said i don't steal
so i don't steal is an identity where i didn't steal that particular piece of candy as an action yeah
