Watch your habits, they become character.
Whatch your character, it becomes your destiny.
~ Frank Outlaw
When I first read this I was like damn, damn, damn…!! How enlightening, that makes so much sense. I went back a few years and thought about the above saying. There were times where my actions became detrimental to my well being and there were times when my actions caused great success and or peace in my life. I’m a firm believe that half the battle is maintianing my mental health …Mental health? No, I’m not crazy…all though we all have a little bit of craziness in us!! What I mean by mental health is sanity and peace of mind. I truly feel like you won’t get to far in life with out sanity in peace. Now, I’m the 1st to say we all go through hard times, but we have to get up, realize what we need to do to better ourselves, and do it. I believe misery luvs company so I try to keep miserable ppl who try to bring me down out of my life. I have to love those people from a distance.
So with that being said, I decided to flip the quote to fit what I believe is most important in remaining sane, at peace, and happy!
Have Positive Thoughts, so you only speak positive words.
With positive words, your actions also reflect your positive outlook on life.
Positive actions provoke positive/healthy habits.
The positive/healthy habits become your character. i.e. great mother, great friend, great child (I’ll always be my parents baby!!), great teacher, etc…you get the picture.
Your character, becomes your destiny. Are you destined to be mediocore or the best that you can possible be!!!
Anywho, day 3 of the diet w/o 1 freaking oz. of carbs!!!!..feeling OK!
