Where are YOU going?

“Keep your thoughts positive. Thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive. Words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive. Behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive. Habits become your values. Keep your values positive. Values become your destiny.” Gandhi.

Destiny. Destiny has been referred to as a predetermined course of events or circumstances. It is based on the belief that there is a natural order to the universe and that the idea of chaos doesn’t exist; that even chaos has meaning and direction. Assuming that a natural order to the universe exists, I pose the question,’ What role then do we play in becoming our destiny?’

According to Gandhi, we play a huge part in becoming our destiny; in fact, we choose our destiny beginning with our thoughts. Our thoughts become our words, which in turn become our behaviors, which in turn become our habits, which in turn become our destiny.

Personally, I have come to realize and believe that this is truly the case. I have been led to believe that there is order to the universe and that even in the midst of utter chaos there is indeed meaning and direction. It isn’t the events in your life that create your destiny, but rather, the thoughts, behaviors, habits, and values that are formed as a result of those events. You have the power to choose, and you have the power to overcome. Use it.

Perhaps you have heard the expression, “Choose your words wisely.” Well, I would like to challenge you to go a little bit deeper and urge you to choose your THOUGHTS wisely. It is as simple as this: Your thoughts become your destiny.
