Everyone goes through different experiences. These experiences cause you to respond to them in different ways. Such experiences over time shape our identities.
Your current behaviors are simply a reflection of your current identity. What you do now is a mirror image of the type of person you believe that you are (either consciously or subconsciously).
James Clear, Author of Atomic Habits
