Sow a habit. Sow a thought - reap an action, sow an action - reap a habit, sow a habit - reap a character, sow a character - reap a fate
The main thing is to be a good person, some repeat, trying to explain why they do not obey the commandments of Judaism. Torah authorities express the same idea, adding to this the important question: “How to become that very“ good person? ”After all, good people are not born, they become.”
Of course, first of all, we must know, "what is good and what is bad." However, knowledge alone is not enough, for moralizing can only remain words and not affect character in any way. How can a person change his nature? The English thinker Samuel Smiles (1812–1914), in his book Self-help, gives a “Jewish” answer to this question:
"Sow a thought and reap an act,
Sow an action and reap a habit,
Sow a habit and reap a character,
Sow your character and reap your fate ”.
Despite Pushkin’s phrase “a habit from above is given to us ...”, I dare to say that habits are not given to us from above, they are a consequence of freedom of choice. Our nature, inclinations are indeed bestowed from above, however we are free to choose how to direct them. And each time, making our choice, creating good or evil, we, in fact, create ourselves. For the actions we repeat turn into habits, affecting our character and destiny.
Our habits really govern us in many ways: without even noticing, we often behave “out of habit”. However, even one who has developed bad habits should not despair, as a person is stronger than his habits. Realizing the great creative power of the act, we can cope with them. Therefore, it is so important not only to “study, study and study”, but also to “fulfill, fulfill and fulfill” the commandments.
It is no coincidence that during the festive meal in Rosh Hashan, Jews wish each other to be honored with good deeds: “so that we have as many merits as the seeds in the pomegranate” ...
How, for example, to bring generosity in children?
To give them the opportunity to help people, give coins that they can put in the piggy bank for the synagogue or for the poor. Of course, it is important that the child studies the Torah, sees in his parents an example to follow, but it is also important that he himself learn from childhood to do good ...
How to instill a feeling of gratitude?
Express gratitude, and not perceive everything that we have for granted. So, for example, a Jew was supposed to bring the first fruits of his harvest to the Temple and say thanks to the Most High for the Land of Israel.
But is it not enough to just feel gratitude in the heart? Why bear fruit and express gratitude in words? Our good deeds and words influence our thoughts and feelings, cultivating good character traits in us ...
The scouts discouraging Jews from entering the Land of Israel seemed to have a sublime occasion. They wanted the Jews not to waste time cultivating the land, but to continue to study the Torah in the desert, eating manna falling from heaven. However, the Almighty instructed the Jews to “enter the country of Israel” so that they could study the Torah, cultivate the land and fulfill the commandments, bringing spirituality to the material world. However, only by changing our inner world, we can change the world around us.
"What is the meaning of the words" Land of Israel "? - asked the Rebbe from Kock, Rav Menachem Mendl Morgenstern (1787-1859). “This is a symbol of the fact that a person can take the“ land ”of his soul and turn it, transform it into Israel!” Each of us can sanctify our “land”, our human nature with the commandments and, changing our character, make ourselves “Israel”. For Jews are not born, Jews become.

It all starts from childhood
“There are many kind words in the world, but one is kinder and more tender
Of the two syllables, a simple word "mother", and there are no words, dearer than it! ”
Human life is fleeting and unpredictable; you never predict that the coming day will cook for us, but it sometimes brings such insults, disappointments, and pain that the world seems to collapse, and you cling desperately to any saving thought, trying to find in the corners warming the soul, giving hope light, and suddenly - eyes! From the most distant, hidden corners of your soul - a kind, warm, understanding everything, loving motherly look! And it doesn’t matter to these eyes whether you are successful or not, talented or not very rich or poor, one thing is important for them - you yourself! And they radiate such endless love, envelop you with their warmth and light, as if they are stretching out a hand, a helping hand and hope! And retreat gradually your pain and bitterness, sorrows and adversities! And you understand that you live again, and the world is not so cruel, and you say a thousand thanks to these eyes, this light that lives and warms! And how needed these eyes are very small, unprotected men! And how important it is for us, educators, to germinate the seed of this all-consuming love for the mother in their souls, so that it sprouts with good seedlings!
On the eve of the holiday - Mother's Day, a cheerful and carefree Pinocchio suddenly looked at our three-year-old kids, who did not know anything about the holiday, and did not really understand what was good and what was bad, and of course he was not able to make gifts to his mother! Puzzled our kids, but not for long! Children’s eyes lit up, different thoughts began to flicker, and all kinds of lips spoke softly assumptions: show, give, help, and suddenly there was such an important word - to teach! Of course, Pinocchio must be taught so that he can say affectionate words, and committed good deeds, and knew how to help mom and managed to make a gift! A fun game began, fun, but also difficult, because it covered several educational areas of: - cognitive development, speech, artistic and aesthetic, physical. How many times Pinocchio made a mistake, and how many times timid, thin, like strings, the words of the children corrected him, helped, taught and learned themselves. It turns out that mommy is not only kind and beloved, but also caring, beautiful, smart, funny, hardworking, economic - that’s how many new words the children gathered in a magic suitcase! It turns out that tearing up a book, not washing your hands before eating, running away from mom, and not tidying up your toys is deedswho will upset their mother, but they will also be pleased with the porridge they eat, and the washed dishes, and the drawn picture, and all the good words, thank you, please, good morning, hello, good night. And how Pinocchio admired when the children correctly called mothers in different types of animals! How he praised the children when they chose the right color and drew the stalk to the finished, already pasted flower on the card for mom, and the children gave him a greeting card in return so that he would look at it and manage to do the same himself!
Nothing passes without a trace. Sow the Act - reap the Habit, sow Habit - reap Character, sow Character- reap Fate... It all starts from childhood.

Miraculous
The noisy summer rang out with a cheerful laugh. Proudly, slowly, the beautiful autumn comes into its own. Already silvered with twigs, white-birch bunches, threw bright paint on maples, aspen, and did not forget about people, gave them a rich harvest ...
The sad girl Polka returned from kindergarten - she quarreled with her beloved girlfriend Sonia and really wanted to tell her mom about it, ran into the kitchen and froze. There was a miracle on the kitchen table - wonderful: different jars in which the whole crop that grew in the garden mom salted for the winter. The jars were shimmering in green, red, white, orange, and on top were covered with the same bright lids. Polka walked around the table admiring this beauty, took a closer look, and suddenly screamed: "Mom, mom, look, all the jars are like twigs by the tree, and the lids are colorful leaves!" Mom smiled, hugged her daughter, and Polinka didn’t let up: Mom, I so want to show this miraculous thing to all the guys in the kindergarten and my girlfriend so that she reconciles with me and does not get offended! How do we do this, mommy? ”
Mom thought, then opened the table, and Polinka saw red, yellow, green lids, took them out and began to lay them on the table, sentencing: “Here they are, autumn leaves! All that is missing is twigs! ”
“Tomorrow in the kindergarten, you’ll come up with a way to make a tree with such unusual leaflets and caps,” said my mother.
In the morning, forgetting about the insult and quarrel with her friend, Polinka cheerfully ran to the kindergarten, and in her hands multicolored caps rang like leaflets of an autumn tree. Together with the teacher, the guys got paper, chose the right glue. The paper turned into a beautiful spreading tree, on whose branches multicolored lids and leaflets were pasted. And so that it would not be boring for the tree to stand alone in the clearing, they made paper from mushrooms - and bright mushrooms, and plump boletuses and long-legged foxes! The guys worked all day, and in the evening they decorated the group with the resulting picture, and proudly told their mothers about it. But Polinka was most proud of what she was able to show the guys the miraculous, who reconciled her with her girlfriend

Sow the act - reap the habit, sow the habit - reap the character, sow the character - reap the fate
Sow the act - reap the habit, sow the habit - reap the character, sow the character - reap the fate
This saying is of very ancient origin. The following parable is known:
“Confucius admired the waterfall in Liulian; jets fall from a height of three thousand wives, foam boils for forty li. Neither caimans, nor fish, nor turtles - sea or river can overcome it. Noticing the swimmer there, Confucius thought that he was looking for death with grief, and sent his disciples down to pull him out. But after a few hundred steps he came out of the water with his hair loose, began to sing, and began to walk along the dam.
Confucius followed him and said to him:
“I took you for the soul of a drowned man, but I looked: you are a man.” Let me ask you a question: do you have a secret how to walk on water?
“No,” the swimmer replied. “I have no secret.” From birth, it’s my habit, when I mature, it’s my character, in maturity it’s fate. Together with the wave, I dive, with the foam I emerge, following the flow of water, without imposing anything on myself from it. That's why I walk on water.
“What does it mean“ from birth it is a habit, with maturity it is character, in maturity it is fate? ”Confucius asked.
- I was born among the hills and satisfied with life among the hills - this is a habit; grew up on water and satisfied with life on water - such is the character; it happens on its own, and I don’t know why - that’s fate. ”
The saying warns: everything that you do in life matters to life as a whole. A separate act can be important for the formation of a habit, a habit can serve as the basis for the formation of character, and character can have a decisive influence on life in general.
In addition, the proverb indicates that everything in life is interconnected: one follows from the other, and the other from the third ... In short, life is a chain of causes and effects. If you want to achieve something in life, you must to line up this chain of causes and effects. For example, if you want to be healthy and sturdy, to run long distances and certainly with comfort, then you must follow this rule: “If you want to run comfortably for five kilometers - run ten; if you want to run comfortably ten kilometers - run twenty; if you want to run comfortably twenty kilometers - run a marathon (42 km); if you want to run in comfort a marathon, run a hundred kilometers. ”
