One's Destiny

“Be careful with your THOUGHTS; these will influence your ACTIONS.

Be careful with your ACTIONS; these will form your HABITS.

Be careful with your HABITS; these will influence your CHARACTER.

Be careful with your CHARACTER; these will mold your DESTINY.”

Indeed a very sensible quote. True enough, our destiny is caused by several things. I believe that a lot of immense things start from smaller things. And some are even done so unconsciously. And so, we have to be cautious with even the slightest things we think of, the smallest things we do, the words we often utter which eventually becomes our expression and so on. Because we may not realize it but it will sooner or later form a lot of things in our lives without us knowing it. Sometimes we wake up asking ourselves how certain things came to be right in front of our very eyes and still we were not able to recognize it. And this is the exact explanation of that. We are hasty, impulsive, and careless with so many things in our daily lives that we most of the time overlook how it is affecting and how it will further affect our lives in the long run. We get so caught up with a lot of life’s diversions that we seem to neglect a lot of deeper things we should’ve given more attention to. Sometimes all it takes is silence. Because in silence, we get to see, hear, and feel a lot of things that we disregard because we tend to be so occupied with many other things. And so, we have to take time in silence to think and just try to reflect on a lot of circumstances in our lives that we should’ve seen a long time ago but didn’t have the instance to do so.
