We are the children of our deeds.


Do you believe that your past behavior is important? Miguel de Cervantes said that people are “the children of their deeds”. Wow! So, the way you act, in every moment, has a real, actual impact on your way of being. The way you behaved yesterday brought you “where” you are right now, made you “what” you are right now. Ask yourself: Am I happy with where I am? Am I satisfied with the way I am? If you stop to ponder this issue for an instant, you realize that whatever you are doing this very moment (including reading these words) and whatever you will be doing in a minute are going to create consequences that will shape your future life. And what determines your behavior? YOUR  MIND! Your thoughts  are, literally, the bricks with which the “house” of your life is built. It is of paramount importance that you become fully aware of this truth. Every now and then you may tend to minimize the importance of a negative thought of yours. Don’t! That thought is not idle, it’s a seed. In fact, every thought is a seed that, if nursed, will yield the logical result. Each action implies a consequence. Each thought first generates the words you utter, then the actions you perform. Therefore your thoughts and, consequently, your deeds create the kind of life you live, day by day by day by day….
