Diane copied these powerful words that were hand written on a wall in a juvenile prison. They are a powerful message that anyone can apply to their daily life.

 

Watch your thoughts, because they become words.

Watch your words, because they become actions.

Watch your actions, because they become habits.

Watch your habits, because they become your character.

Watch your character, because it becomes your destiny.
