Summary

This quote suggests that habits are formed through actions and behaviors. Once established, they influence and shape future actions, leading to even more successful and positive results.

The idea is that through the repetition and refinement of actions, habits evolve into something more admirable and prosperous than their original source, highlighting the power of consistency and the potential for growth and progress in cultivating positive habits.
