You really have a big influence on who you become.

When you begin to take more control of your life, you come to find you live in a feedback loop.

As organic beings, we're never done growing. We're always adjusting to our environment. We can grow in more positive or negative directions.

Our choices literally affect our physiology. They affect our thought patterns, our physical capacities. They fundamentally affect who and what we become.

It's part of how small things determine our larger story.

Whenever you make a choice, positive or negative, it becomes easier to make the same type of choice again. You have literally become more likely to make that type of choice in the future. Your thoughts, emotions, and physiology are more attuned to that type of choice.

Make a negative choice, and it can become harder and harder to break out of the rut.

Make it positive, though, and you can glide into a deep groove of agency, intention, and enduring joy.
