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

Is it really?
We are quite adapt at thinking something, Saying just the opposit and doing things for no reason whatsoever.
Just look at the people in charge of our foreign policy. Just look at our politicians, the people who represent us and make laws for us to follow.
And watching your thoughts is really difficult. I tried it when i was trying to quit smoking, But you should never say, I am not going to think of smoking, because the moment you do, you are thinking of smoking, I know its like Proving the nonexistence of God , Douglus Adams style, but this poem does not serve any purpose, and its first 2 lines are bs.
The next line is true
But do habits become character? Mayhaps true.
The last line goes over my head.

yes that is true. Everytime time yout thinking of something you want to say it, and everytime you say it you want to do it, then when you decide to do it, it becomes a habit and your doing this for a while now, it's apart of your life. Be careful with your habits, because it all in the way you carry yourself with these habits and that can make you be judged by your character. Then your character becomes your DESTINY.

I believe it is true.
I also believe that fantasy is a separate issue as far as thoughts are concerned.
Every one has a fantasy of a place that takes them to another place. That's why we like to read fiction.
As an example, I like to read novels that depict the 1800's.
It a very good quote. I like it.
