worshipping and becoming


"That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

nice - reminds me of Democritus: "your character determines your fate." the thought rarely leaves my mind, and it's best that way.

For some reason, I just love that Emerson penned those words.

I like the Democritus phrase too -- thanks for including it.
