author: "James Clear",

},
{
author: "James Clear",
quote: "Time magnifies the margin between success and failure. It will multiply whatever you feed it."

},
{
author: "James Clear",
quote: "The ultimate form of intrinsic motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity. It's one thing to say I'm the type of person who wants this. It's something very different to say I'm the type of person who is this."
},
{
author: "James Clear",
quote: "Behind every system of actions are a system of belief."
