Caulfield’s statement in panel 2 is apparently from James Clear (I have no idea who that is). Here’s the full quote: “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity. This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change. Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That’s the paradox of making small improvements.”
Relax. . . You are not expected to get it right the first time. When you make a mistake, try to make it right with the people effected, resolve not to do that again, forgive yourself, and move on. You’ll get lots of chances. Most people have to try several lifestyles before they find one that fits. especially teenagers. I have always liked the Buckminster Fuller quote, “I seem to be a verb.”
In 1968, when I was in grade school we were learning civics. The electoral college was being discussed, I asked if someone could get the popular vote but lose the electoral college. The teacher said theoretically it could happen but never will. Mrs. Bell, are you still around? The electoral college must be eliminated.
It does sort of work like that, only even more complex. It’s not just the simple majority of the things you do, there are other aspects of life that sum them up in groups with different weighting.

Just because it’s in a book doesn’t make it true.

Caulfield is beginning to see ahead. Enlightenment follows.

If that adage were true, you would always be what you are and never change.
