I wanted to give credit to a great writer for creating the following trail to success but I have searched everywhere and it appears the following is another one of those great thoughts that came from GOD himself because noone else staked a claim to it!
“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.”
I shared a close version to this on facebook this week and have had tons of response...I want to dig a bit deeper into each phrase this week but before I do let's look at the entire picture of what this quote really is telling us and how I see it relating to life for so many people...
Watch the following video and see if you agree with me that the song by Casting Crowns "Slow Fade" is all about the life of a family that fell into the trap of negative thoughts, leading to negative actions, habits, character and destiny...

Read the lyrics as well and learn from the quote...
"Slow Fade"
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
The journey from your mind to your hands Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
Remember that happiness is not something we seek but what we choose.
Everything in life - good, bad, happy, sad...it all begins with a simple thought...
Make your thoughts positive. Take action today to think clean, clear and cast away any negative influences!
Dedicated to your success!
