11 Jun The thought manifests as the word…you can build on this for happiness!
I was recently reminded of this important and profound quote…
The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings.
There is so much to note in these words and so much we can put into action in our daily lives. Let's begin with a few key lessons…
-
What you think and/or say to yourself is vitally important
-
What you say to yourself impacts on, among other things, what you do
-
What you do determines your life and your reputation
So simple but so important.
So for those of us wanting to live a happy and good life…
-

-
Manage unhelpful thoughts
-
Be mindful of your actions
-
Ensure your actions are good…for you and for others
-
Act not from selfishness but from a position of altruism
A little thought can go a long way; so keep these simple but powerful points front of mind as you travel through your day and enjoy the benefits of more happiness and goodness!
