Your thoughts will influence your words, which determines your actions. Your actions will define your habits which make up your character. Your character will determine your destiny. Learn to master your thoughts.

In this 6 part series we will go over each of these evolutions beginning with how your thoughts influence your words.

It is very difficult for us to have complete control over our thoughts. Our thoughts often run wild and sometimes when you are in a difficult situation you have some thoughts that you might fail or you might think you aren’t good enough. Most of the time you can dismiss them, but there is a serious change when you speak that you are going to fail or that you “can’t do it.”

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.

If we can become aware that we can control our thoughts that is the first step to being able to choose the positive thought that will move you forward rather than allowing your inner voice to tell you unproductive things. If thoughts are left unchecked, they can become words and you can actually speak things into existence. On this episode we dive in on your thoughts.

Your thoughts will influence your words, which determines your actions. Over time, your actions will define your habits. It is these habits, either good or bad, that will create your character. Your character determines your destiny.

There is an example of character becoming destiny - imagine two boats. They are maybe in a race or setting out from the same port, and they look like they are going in the same direction. But they are a couple degrees off, and over time the boats start to get further and further away until they are out of sight. After enough time the two boats will end up in very different places.

That is what this is about - the small changes that you make in your thoughts, words and habits will make huge differences in your character and 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.

This is part 5 of our 6 part series. This week we will be talking about Character. Last week we talked about how your habits and how that shapes your character and this week we are focusing on that, and how your character ultimately determines your destiny. Character is defined as the mental and moral qualities of an individual. Many people say that character is who you are when nobody is watching. Once we form good habits in our lives that will help develop our character in a positive way.

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.

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.

Many people in their 50’s would say that they are on a decline physically. I feel exactly the opposite. In fact, I have set multiple PR’s in many different workouts and weight lifting and I am 53! I had a person text me and ask if I had changed anything in my life this year that has lead to me feeling and performing so well. At first, I didn’t nothing really came to mind because the things I have added have taken place over a long period of time. However, upon really thinking about it, I narrowed it down to 4 things: changes in my sleep schedule, supplements in the form of vitamins and minerals, stretching, and water intake.

I am filming Saltwater Experience this week. Filming calls for very early mornings and LONG days but it is crucial to stick as tightly to my programming as I can. In this episode I go over how I can look over my program before a trip and figure out what few pieces of equipment I could bring with me and modify my programming for the road. I may not improve my conditioning while I am traveling, but I will make sure that I do not take a step backwards.

We discuss how you can work with your Coach or trainer to come up with alternatives to your program that allow you to maintain fitness and momentum. All it takes is a little planning.
