What consumes your mind will control your life.
Your brain is one of the most important predictors of success.
That is why the thoughts we think are often what ends up happening in our lives.
The way we feel is impacted directly by it, and most of the time, we’re at the whims of everyone.
If someone says a rude comment to us, it triggers our emotions, which affect how we feel, the things we think and do, and the actions we may or may not take.
The issue with this is that if you’re at the whims of everyone, it’s like being a puppet pulled by strings.
Wayne Dyer wrote a book in the eighties called “Pull Your Strings,” and after reading it, I found ways to really be in control of your life.
It goes back to the question: “What are the inputs we’re putting in our minds?”
What are the things that we are allowing our minds to see? Are we reading things that are making us feel bad? Are we reading stuff that’s discouraging us?
To chase after a goal and achieve something in a short amount of time, you must be very judicious about what you allow into your mind.
It will impact how you feel about your productivity and, in turn, what you can achieve.
So, my advice is to be very careful about what you consume. What I like to say is: be a creator!
Another favorite quote is: “Be a creator, not a consumer.”
One of the most vital parts of my recent development was becoming a creator and being less of a consumer. I don’t spend a lot of time on social media.
I only follow a few key people I respect and admire, and I listen to their advice only.
That helps me stay focused on my goal of having a larger impact, assisting people in making money, and having the freedom I so desired.
