Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness to take responsibility.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 

Watch your thoughts, they become your words.

Watch you words,
they become your actions.

Watch your actions,
they become your habits.

Watch your habits,
they become your character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
