“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.”
                              
                                             -Lao-Tze 

 When I first read this quote I started to think about it deeply. Like this is so real. Like I never thought that a word could might change. Actually if someone told me one time "your word might change your destiny" I will be like yea okay, in a sarcastic way lol. But it really makes sense. Like our thoughts automatically turns to some words which express ourselves and put our thoughts in an understandable sentence. But should we just say anything at any time whatever the word is. No we have to watch our words because it is going to be our actions. Like when I say I am hungry, it won't be just a word. It will turn into an action which is eating. And then our actions turn into habits.

Like every action we do could be a habit as long as we got used to it. That these habits we got used to do forms our characters, so habits turns to characters. And eventually our characters forms our future. So we have to form our character carefully and decide what do we want to do in the future because having a good character form a better future which could lead to destiny, if it is really your destiny. Cause I believe that destiny doesn't always make sense. It sometimes happens for a reason and sometimes not. So I would like to say "watch your character, it becomes your FUTURE". Destiny can't be measurable.
