Quote: It Starts With a Thought
Oct 9th, 2007 by jeremy
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
- Frank Outlaw
Who we are and what we become starts long before the habits that encompass what we do each day. What we allow to fill out minds eventually becomes more of who we are than we may realize when we allow it in.
I have always enjoyed this particular quote because it reminds me to think carefully what I do, specifically in my free time. What am I filling my head with? What am I saying, what am I doing? What do I let become part of my daily routine.
I can honestly say I try, though I am sure I often fail at trying to do this. Perhaps the effort in trying is character I am hoping for.
THIS IS A GOOD LESSON TO FOLLOW
WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME
