“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”

Gandhi, https://www.biography.com/activist/mahatma-gandhi 

Today in two very different situations the headline "Your Words Create Your Reality" came up. In the morning during the weekly - Active Player Meetup with Jurgen Appelo https://jurgenappelo.com/about/ - when we did discuss the need for Backlogs and how to handle it. Later in the afternoon during our OneTeam - #SPIRIT Standup meeting, when we did discuss about the topic of working with virtual teams in India. You have to be careful with words.
