Most of us by now have come across the saying, "You become what you think about." If you haven't, I encourage you to take interest in personal growth material. You may be asking how your thoughts are constructed. I'm glad you did! Input.
1. You think the most about the things you see the most.
When you watch a lot of television, your thoughts are greatly influenced by the programs that you watch. Your thoughts are often driven by the kind of programs you watch, even your dreams. Watch what you watch!
2. You think along the music you listen to.
Music is powerful. You may find yourself speaking to yourself and others using song lyrics that you have been listening to. You may even feel depressed or excited because of the music you're listening to. Be careful what you listen to.
3. You're the average of the people you socialise with the most.
Spending time with people gives them access to your thought pool. They can have positive or negative influence. It's better to stay away from negative friends. You may think that you will influence them to be positive but very few people are able to do that. In most instances we only find ourselves already sunk into the negative thoughts and wondering why we feel so low.
4. Reading positive material gives you a positive attitude.
Make a habit of reading. I don't mean those mind corrupting books full of erotic scenes. Positive self actualisation books and of course, The Bible. That will give you clear positive thoughts.
5. Your self-talk determines what you believe.
After all is said and done, we only do the things we believe we can. What we believe we can't, we either avoid or sabotage. Our beliefs are shaped by what we consistently say to ourselves. That is shaped by all the above listed factors.
As you can see, what you put into your mind through the eye and ear gates determines who you become. Make a deliberate choice to make the right input.
