Thoughts lead on to purposes...............-

Thoughts lead to purposes;purposes go forth in action;action form habits;habits decidecharacter & character fixes our destiny.-Tryan Edwards,American Theologian


Let me start with the true story of this little girl called Wilma Rudolph.She contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever at the age of 4,which left her left leg paralysed.She had to start using a leg brace in order to walk.The doctor said that she would never walk normally again.But her encouraging mother always told her tht if you have faith and courage,you will walk again.Wilma believed in her other and at the age of 9,she threw aside her leg braces, and dreamt of being able to run.The doctor ,obvioulst y ridiculed her dream saying”you can’t even walk”.But inspite of her handicap, ,Wilma began participating in races ,by the age of 13 .She was always last,but she had faith in her dream.In 1960 ,Wilma patticipated in the Olympics and won 3 olymic gold medals-.This got her the title of the 1st woman ever to to win 3 olympic gold medals in one year.And they said she couldn’t walk.

The journey of reaching your destiny starts from that tiny seed of thought,which leads to the conception of a legitimate purpose in your heart. It could be anything-a spiritual ideal,a worldly object. Of course I am not talking about every drifting thought.. Until your thought is linked with purpose,there is no scope for intelligent accomplishment.. Thoughts lead to purposes Once your purpose is clear,you take action to achieve your purpose and action should be alingned to and allied with the purpose. purposes go forth in action .What you repeatedly do becomes a habit. action form habits .As are your habitual thoughts and actions,so also will be the character of your mind.habits decide character .From building a strong character,like we saw in the case of Wilma,we reach our destiny .The Greek Philosopher Heraclitus quotes”Ethos Anthropos Daimon”-Man’s character is his destiny ..

Now there are a lot of people who say that what can I do…its is my destiny,It is not in my hands.But remember Aristotle’s words ”We are what we repeatedly do”Sit and crib-you will be damned,Act on your purpose with hope and conviction-you will get there.,So in short,what it means is “Sow an action,reap a habit,sow a habit…reap a character,sow a character..reap a destiny. “
