Garbage In, Garbage Out



As the short video above discusses, what we think about will dictate much of who we are. I once heard Tony Robbins discussing the time he attempted to drive a race car around the track. He said as he approached the wall, he could not help but look at it. As he came nearer to it, he felt he needed to look at it more. As a result of looking at the wall, he ended up hitting it because that is what he was focused on.

John Maxwell says you are a product of who you hang around with and the books you read. I agree with this is because who you are with and what you are reading will impact what you think about.

So, are you in a rut? If so, maybe you're thinking about the wrong things. Perhaps you need to evaluate who you are spending time with and what you are reading.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Good video. Good analogy to the farm. The challenge here is to remember that our poisons are not always the same.
