THOUGHTS



Watch your thoughts they will become your words.


Watch your words they will become your action.


Watch your action they will become your habit.


Watch your habit they will become your character.


Watch your character they will become your future.


Therefore, ultimately your future or destiny is determined by your character, determined by your habit, determined by your action, determined by your words and finally determined by your thoughts. Where does it begins? All wars begins in the ‘mind’ of an individual. Even though thoughts are intangible but they are extremely powerful. Therefore, never ignore your thoughts just because others don’t know it.

James Allen in his famous book “As a man thinketh” says that just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances and destiny.
