“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words;
they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habit. Watch your habits;
they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”
-Lao Tzu
If my mind is good, everything looks
good. But when my mind is evil, everything looks evil. Likewise, our thoughts deeply
influence our minds and body. You might wonder, how could our thoughts also
influence our body? I will tell you an interesting thing. Think of lemon and
imagine yourself eating that lemon. Do you feel your mouth getting watered? Yes,
our thoughts also control our hormones. Another example, if you think of happy thoughts,
your body secretes serotonin and dopamine. You got the idea now? According to
the quote above, our thoughts change our actions and it leads to habit, and
habit makes our character, then it decides our destiny. However, it is not easy
to change our habits maybe because our thoughts cannot be changed easily. Do
you want to change your destiny? Start by changing your thoughts to positive
ways!
