Contemplation from thought to destiny

Contemplate the following saying by Lao Tzu:

Sow a thought, reap a word;

Sow a word, reap an action;

Sow an action, reap a habit;

Sow a habit, reap a character;

Sow a character, reap a destiny.

Key insights:

• thoughts and words are predictions (mental formations about the future)
• habits and character are memories (mental and karmic formations about the past)
• all models are wrong, some are useful
• link with Dragon Dreaming project wheel: dreaming (character / destiny / thought), planning (thought / word), doing (action) and celebrating (habit / character)
• a change in destiny is possible through a change in action; the change is immediate but will only become visible after percolating through habit and character.
