Meaning
This reads as a reminder that character is shaped by repeated small choices, not by a single grand decision. It can be taken to mean that mood and fate, in the moral sense, grow out of what we feed in ourselves each day. It lands when someone is caught in a rut, and needs to remember that habits of thought and action can be changed.
