I don't know if it's because I've been thinking about the diamond analogy lately that I previously blogged about; but, this quote stood out for me. I like it. From the Scriptural point of view, it's similar to the verses that talk about trials producing character and hope.
I actually came across the quote in an episode of "Being Erica". This show has pleasantly surprised me. Aside from the interesting quotes; I like how Erica grows and develops as she addresses the "mistakes" that she has made in her past.
It may be helpful to evaluate what we consider to be our current failings and deficiencies; and see if the root cause may be something in our past that we need to work through and deal with. And I do like what one episode pointed out, that we cannot abandon our integrity as a means to an end and still remain true to the person we want to be.
Another line that stood out in one episode is when it said that we sometimes go through life on mute; but, when something makes us "come alive", we notice more and feel more. I can relate to that.
And another good quote from the show:
"Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny."
