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.
—Lao-Tze
I heard this for the first time last year and I don't think there is a truer saying out there. I really try to analyze things before I say them (although I was a lot better at this when I was younger) and predict any potential consequences, but the truth is that you never really know what's going to happen or what people may think of what you say. You just have to focus on seeing the best in people and situations and being a positive person.
