New Beginnings: Watch Out


Ok sweet toothers! I know I haven't been posting and all of that is going to change. You probably don't know this but I recently celebrated my 25th birthday. & I've vowed to stop procrastinating and bullshitting around. There is so much I want to do and the only way I  am gonna get to do it is if I get off my fat ass and do it...so here we are.

Another personal fact: I absolutely love quotes!! From facebook, television, text messages or just regular conversations I love to here something profound that can in some way shape or form be a life lesson to someone else. With that. I will be posting quotes i find and sharing my opinions of them. I know it's October but it's a new year in terms of my life and things have got to get better! So..........

I found the following quote on Facebook and it really struck a cord for me:

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become your character
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

-Lao-Tze

This really stood out to me and I'm not sure how u feel about it but it really does speak volumes. Anybody ever tell you that we seal our own fate? Well we do. I think we really take for granted that everything we do today can effect our future lives.

Example: smoking cigarettes now can put you at a higher risk of lung cancer later.
Example: eating bad unhealthy foods & not exercising now can lead to heart disease & diabetes later.

Get it? Got it? Good!!

So get up off your ass and do something productive! Today is the first day of the rest of your life and no one has control over your life but you. So change starts from within and trust me when you start being true to yourself everything else will fall into play.
