What he said... I think ;) |
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 behaviours become
your habits.
Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your
values.
Keep your values positive, because your values become your
destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
I've been using this quote to guide me as my hero is unfolding from the words on the screen. This is what I want the hero to strive for - although I don't plan to make it easy, either.
I love Gandhi's statements on positivity, they make an excellent guide for the writer-in-me.
It doesn't do a bad job of being a guide for the me-in-me either ;)
ON A SCALE OF :( 1 to 10 :D HOW POSITIVE ARE YOU FEELING?

Not pessimistic, exactly, but not entirely sure about positivity . . .
Hi GE
DeleteI can see why you think you look at positivity with some caution. Questions and apprehension keep us safe. Sometimes a little too safe. Positivity makes us brave, it doesn't need to send us cheerfully into danger. ;)
