Thank you for your inspiring words. Positive thoughts change our life; and affirmations can be powerful. It is fascinating to hear and read so much research about the brain and how it connects our thoughts, words, actions, destiny. There is a poem by Frank Outlaw which says it all:

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.
