Which Do You Choose?

“Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions.
Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits.
Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny.” – Chinese Proverb

Such wonderful words, and how relevant for today – that we might remember the impact of thought, and the capacity of heart to transcend ‘limitation’.

More specifically, knowing that what we share out into this world – in time, becomes our destiny.

But, what does that really mean? How does thinking manifest to action?

Every day we issue our thoughts out into the universe – sharing the most intimate details of our apprehension, fear, sorrow, joy, and love.

“Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box; they tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe.”

Casting ripples into waves – and shining brightly, ‘like a million suns’.

Our thoughts create action – they excite, they urge, they compel, they motivate. They offer comfort, courage, optimism and peace. They can bring respite to a restless heart. And, even urge our brothers to finally lay down their arms.

While negative thoughts may introduce and atmosphere of judgement; those which are positive, create a space for compassion.

Having said that – my darlings, which do you choose?
