Your thoughts and attitudes today chart your destiny tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that.

About This Quote

Your thoughts and attitudes today, will shape your destiny tomorrow. What you think about today will determine how you feel tomorrow. And the day after that, and the day after that. The words of others can also affect your attitude.

For example, if someone gives you a compliment, you may feel good for a short time before you start thinking about what they said and what they didn’t say. Thinking about it again is like having the same compliment repeated again.
