How We Become "__________"

"A choice made often enough becomes a habit.
And a habit reaps a personality
and a personality reaps a character
and a character reaps a destiny...

a man becomes what he is, a woman becomes what she is by a series of processes of thinking, choices he makes. Some people say, well how did that person ever get to be like...Made a choice and another choice to do the same thing again and it became a habit and it became a personality and it became a character and it's a determined destiny...'As a man (what?) thinketh in his heart, (what?) so is he.' Prov. 23:7"
