From the heart

You are what your deep, driving desire is.

As is your desire, so is your intention.

As is your intention, so is your will.

As is your will, so is your deed

As your deed is, so is your destiny,

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Hindu Scriptures, 7th-6th century BCE.

Each thought creates according to its own nature.

Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.
