I have seen the following phrase many times in the past and I believe it makes a lot of sense. It is a simple formula that will allow you to do new things or to change things you are currently doing.
I am not sure who to attribute it to but here it is:
Sew a thought, reap an action,
Sew an action, reap a habit,
Sew a habit, reap a character,
Sew a character, reap a destiny,
Here is my interpretation of what it means:
Your thoughts (positive or negative) can lead you to take an action. You have to make a decision to take a specific action.
Your choices will cause you to repeat actions and in the process develop habits. I have read that if you do something for 21 days straight you will develop a habit.
Your habits make your character. Think about the people you know with good character. What habits do they consistently exhibit? Honesty, integrity, dependability, timeliness, etc.
People know us by our character. A good character means we can have a good and positive influence in people’s lives. A bad character means we turn off the majority of people because of who we are and what we do.
Our character influences people and people will remember us by our character. This is our destiny.
The way we live now will determine our destiny unless we consciously make choices to make changes.
Are you happy with your destiny?
