People pay for what they do, and still more…
People pay for what they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simple; by the lives they lead. Two kinds of clarity support habit, formation clarity of values and clarity of action.

In the book
Decide before the moment, not in it. Plan in advance for the challenges you know will come, so that you are not making the decision in the heat of temptation — you have already decided how you will behave. Two kinds of clarity make all of this hold: clarity about your values, and clarity about the specific action they require. And when your own resolve is not enough, borrow some structure from the outside — just as governments hold citizens to laws, you can write yourself a habit contract and let someone hold you accountable to it. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
