Good, and Words Better than Mine: Mahatma Gandhi

“Your beliefs become your thoughts, 

Your thoughts become your words, 

Your words become your actions, 

Your actions become your habits, 

Your habits become your values, 

Your values become your destiny.”

Reflections from “The Good Decision”

This sequence  points to the importance of growing your sense of good.  This is not only true for the individual, it is true for a culture and a nation.  Perhaps we also must choose as a people to actually believe those infants, and youth that grace our world are expressions of good and we all were once destined to be good. The bitter, biting cynicism of today’s world is the product of a flawed belief system. If you started out as an infant on this planet, your destiny was to live a good life. A nation of good lives is a good nation.  Men like Gandhi bring out the best.  Today is Sunday. Not matter your spiritual tradition bring out the best in those around you and believe it is possible.  That would be good.
