Take A Look At Yourself

Well, it's midterm time have a ginormous test tomorrow night. Wish me luck.   My teacher in my business ethics class read this last night:
Watch your thoughts, they become your words.
Watch your words, they become your actions. 
Watch your actions, they become your habits. 
Watch your habits, they become your character.

Am I being the example I should be?  Do I have good thoughts, say kind words, and do good things?  Do I have bad habits I need to work on overcoming? This is definitely a powerful statement... something I have been thinking about since last night.

    unless you've got a really good filter and don't speak your mind. you instead speak the thoughts you want people to think that you're experiencing :-)

    so your thoughts get filtered and become your words (lies).

    but lies don't have to become your actions if you avoid the presence of the person you lied to; allowing you to act as you please.

    its all very relative...

    don't think so hard.

    Something to ponder.
    I should probably watch my thoughts more.

    Good luck on your exams!

    wow, this is strong! definitely something to think about... I try to stop thoughts becoming words by using a diary / journal, keeps me in check.
    But yeah, I'll definitely be keeping this in mind!
    thanks for posting

    and good luck with the test!

    How interesting.

    I think the heart/mind debate also has a lot to say in this too, if your thoughts are based on your heart then your words and actions will be driven on emotion (and that's not always a great thing)

    If your thoughts and words are based on your mind, then things should be a lot more logical and less complicated... well, that's the theory anyway!

    this is really a rad sentiment--and a good argument for why to use precise language.
    awesome.
