Watch your thoughts...


Came across the following few lines, epiphany of sort..for me anyways.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words
Watch your words, for they become actions
Watch your actions, for they become habits
Watch your habits, for they become character
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny

Character is not built overnight, it is a long arduous journey, it is going to test you on many occasions and sometime it could be tempting to dump it...but should we ever? My answer is no,,, when the going gets tough , the tough get going. You beat the odds by perseverance, you beat the odds by tenacity and above all you beat the odds by following a good plan. I am a Project Manager and one of the basic thing you learn in Project Management is the mantra of -Plan, Execute, Control and Review. I for one do not believe in cutting corners, taking shortcuts, deceiving people, resorting to lies...I find my self sleeping peacefully at night when I follow these principles. As a certified Project Manager (my PMP designation) , I am bound by ethics, I can lose my designation for being dishonest...get it, for me it is not just a moral obligation it is how I make a living!

Given the preponderance of evidence in support of good character, is it any surprise that the above quote resonated deep inside me? Yeah I know that is a rhetorical question, but I mean it in all its seriousness and as the opening line of above quote tells you...it all starts with your thoughts. So let us make a pledge to cleanse our thoughts of the negatives, purge the defeatism, the pessimism and build a strong character!

This post is dedicated to all my friends and well wishers who have stood by me all these years... thank you :-)
