Watch your thoughts…

I was taught that it takes minimum 40 days to internalize a new habit, or for a change to get rooted in the system. Maybe it is an approximation, but what happens when I need changes in different directions. Which one do I focus on first? Is there something like a debt consolidation program to help?

“Watch your thoughts for they become words.

Watch your words for they become actions.

Watch your actions for they become…habits.

Watch your habits, for they become your character.

And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny!

What we think we become.”

 This quote is attributed to Margaret Thatcher.

Here are my 40 words of internal conflict.

is that My shadow there?

it doesn’t look like me.

disfigured, disconnected,

mutilated in between

I seek mirrors

which mold to my shape

realtime, real-form

in the same space.

I’m One, shadows many

growing apart

disconnects are real

resemblance uncanny.
