"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviour. Keep your behaviour positive because your behaviour becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits becomes your values. Keep your values positive because your value becomes your destiny".

-Mahatma Gandhi.

Right, this is a lot to take in but it’s a process to illustrate how good thoughts can have a knock-on effect to develop your path. If you’re going to subscribe to someone else’s school of thought then you’re going to get distracted and you may be hooked onto their gravy train. To avoid this, your thoughts must be your own and not someone else’s. Others can guide you and inspire you (and some may misguide you) but you have to do the hard graft yourself. Thinking it is one thing but you need to take the time to act too. You should follow your own path and do the things that work for you. Once you get into the swing g if it, you’ve got to keep going until you reach your goal. It’s OK to compromise but sometimes you have to take your own action especially if you feel that it’s contrary to everyone around you.
