[00:00:00]Here's what James Clear in his book Atomic Habits gives something incredibly practical. He says that most people focus on outcomes like I want to be physically fit. I want to write a book.

[00:00:15]I want to build a business. But the outcomebased thinking is keeping you stuck because the outcome is too far away. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is so enormous. It does not let you take these steps because of fear. So James Clear instead says you need to focus on your identity.

[00:00:43]You do not focus on becoming physically fit person. You become the person who exercises on daily basis. You do not focus on becoming a very big writer but rather you focus on becoming someone whose identity is he writes on daily basis and similarly everything that you want to achieve in life. Instead of focusing on that goal, you focus on developing your identity on the basis of actions that you need to take to be that person.
