At the beginning of every action there is an idea, and thus a mental trigger. The Talmud, the important Jewish religious and legal source, describes potential consequences.
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become your character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
