Here’s one of my favorite quotes... “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; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” I love this quote because it perfectly describes how your thoughts shape your character and ultimately determine your destiny. Your destiny isn’t external to you. It isn’t something that happens to you or is handed to you. It’s something that comes from within you -- something that you actively create through your thoughts, words, and actions. So if you want to change your destiny, you have to start within yourself. Think better thoughts. Say better words. Take better action. Form better habits. Doing so will transform your entire life.
Many people seem to go through life as if they have an anchor behind them, weighing them down. Imagine if they could release it, how much faster they'd be able to move and how much more success they'd have. Perhaps this is you – holding on to past hurts, incompletes, anger, or fear. Yet, releasing this "anchor" could be the final step you need to move on from your past so you can embrace the future. The truth is, we've all made mistakes and have gone through challenges in life. But it's not your mistakes or challenges that define you. It's what you learn from these experiences that truly matters. How you think about the past can either be a great source of motivation, or it can interfere with your happiness and hold you back from living your best life. So, how do you put the past behind you and embrace your ideal future?
