Answer 1

A: To me, this quote means that I control my destiny

B: I believe this has merit because we control how our life goes and our choices. For example, the sentence “watch your habits for they become actions.” can relate to how we easily fall into habits by doing simple actions, and we should be cautious in how we act because it affects us long term.

C: this relates to the habit of thinking before taking action because it talks about “watching” what you do, which can be connected to reviewing (thinking) before taking action

D: This relates to making responsible decisions because it tells us to think about what we do, for it will affect us. Similar to how this relates to the habit of thinking before taking action

E: (I don’t know you, but here’s a general idea.)

•Being on the verge of an argument and you’re about to say something hurtful that you would regret, but you thought first and answered calmly, which deescalated the situation

Also, the author's name is Frank Outlaw.

In my opinion, these questions are very opinionated, and there is no right or wrong answer, so I encourage you to try and think about possible solutions that relate specifically more to you.
