"Watch your thoughts they become words. Watch your words they become actions. Watch your actions they become habits. Watch your habits they become character. Watch your character it becomes your destiny." - Patrick Overton
It is a path. One step leading to another. The habit you are trying to break started somewhere as a thought. Then you gave voice to that thought. Then you acted on it. Now it is a habit. Will it become part of your character? But what if instead of a bad habit you want to develop a good one. It starts with the thought. Maybe the character you want to develop is already a thought you have. Now give it a voice. What action does it require you to take? How does it become a habit that will develop the character you desire? We don't just happen to end up at our destiny one day, we are choosing it with each step along the way. What step are you going to take today? Maybe it requires a step in another direction or maybe you are on the path you want to be, the path leads somewhere, you get to choose the direction though.

Love this. It works both ways. It's all inside out. Be it good or bad. I have some good habits developing where formerly there was bad. That is encouraging to me.
