Your beliefs become your thoughts
Your thoughts become your words
Your words become your actions
Your actions become your habits
Your habits become your values
Your values become your destiny
I think Mahatma Gandhi said this…or Oprah. I can’t keep them straight.
That’s big stuff right there. A big concept.
Because most of us, most of the time, myself included, think that all of those things, those actions, words, habits, thoughts—are all separate—disconnected. That they have nothing whatsoever to do with one another.
Wrongo Bongo! We could not be more stupid, misguided, delusional, misinformed, naive, forgetful.
You know this stuff.
I know this stuff.
My freakin’ dog knows this stuff.
So, just a gentle reminder to be mindful of your beliefs, thoughts, words, actions, habits and values because they are all coalescing to form your destiny.
If you’re sloppy about it like I can get from time to time, you can say and think that you’re eating kale, but the kale is really donuts, and your belief in the destructive power of warm, yeasty goodness is too powerful to overrule the word kale, and just like that—the donuts I ate this weekend goes straight to my ass. So…
Not sure of what you’re creating? Look around at your life. It’s a big clue. HUGE.
You like what you see? Fantastic! Keep doing what you’re doing.
Not so thrilled with the lump of a chump on the couch? Even better! Because ALL of those things, those thoughts, words, blah, blah, blah—can be changed.
By you.
Right this minute.
Or after you finish your donut. Isn’t that worth knowing?!
Wait. I think we just created a new belief. Let’s run with it! (Put down the scissors first).
Carry on,
