Watching your thinking….

September 12th, 2007 by jim1537

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Here we see the progression in a step by step way as to just how tremendously important thoughts really are.  The power of thought is not abstract or illusive or up in the clouds.  It is the very thing that shapes and creates our reality as we know it.

    This made me think of a similar verse from the Upanishads which are part of hindu scriptures on spiritual contemplation dating to 9th century BC.

    You are what your deep driving desire is,
    As your desire is, so is your will.
    As your will is, so is your deed.
    As your deed is, so is your destiny.
    -Brihadaranyaha Upanishad IV.4.5
