“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
~ Lao Tzu

Podcast Synopsis - Thoughts Become Words. Words Become Actions, Actions Become Habits, Habits Become Character, Character Becomes Your Destiny

Your thoughts will influence your words, which determines your actions. Your actions will define your habits and that is what we are going to talk about today.

The actions you take will, over time become habits. Habits are things you do repeatedly and as we have talked about in previous episodes, your habits are influenced by your actions. As we move through this 6 part series it becomes more and more obvious that each aspect of the Lao Tzu quote is built on the one before it. Today we talk about how your actions become habits. These can be good, productive habits or bad, destructive habits. Many don’t realize this but whether you have bad habits or good habits that is really your choice. That choice begins with the thoughts you choose. Those thoughts set off a chain reaction that ultimately determines your destiny.

It is important to note that your destiny is not predetermined. By the thoughts, words, actions and habits, we develop our character. Our character ultimately determines our destiny. This is all within your control.

Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character determines your destiny.

See you next week - no excuses,
