Where's the quote come from then? Cuz I assure you its origin is not ghandi Found it Bishop Beckwaith (probably a misspelling of John W. Beckwith, 1831-1890) in a newspaper from 1885:

Plant a thought and reap a word; plant a word and reap an action; plant an action and reap a habit; plant a habit and reap a character; plant a character and reap a destiny.

I've often had to tell myself the inverse. My chart is a constant downward progression. I have to remind myself that one good day won't undo all the problems I'm dealing with. I can't afford to let my guard down just because things went well for one day.

It’s so easy to minimize on certain experiences and feelings. Being too self critical can really set you back from the progress you made.

Don’t compare yourself to others, and remember where you started. Ask yourself what goals you had when you started, and remember all the efforts and progress that got you where you are today- you absolute unit.
