The thought manifests as the word.
The word manifests as the deed.
The deed develops into habit.
And the habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from Love, born out of concern for all beings.
- Buddha (c. 563-c. 483 BC)
Sometimes we accidentally utter words that we do not want others to hear. Buddha's quote made me realize that we utter words that we do not want to say because those words were the result of what and how we think.
So, as Buddha said, we should be careful with our thoughts and think of nothing but Love! Love for the family, friends and pets too. Let the thought spring from Love, Love, Love!
Isn't that better?
