The substance of our thoughts is what produces the choices we make. This in turn leads to the actions we carry out. For that reason, a critical examination of our thought process is needed. The question to continually ask ourselves is: what are the sources and content that we are allowing to influence our thoughts? That is why the books you read (especially the Bible) are so important. Other forms of media - radio, television, music, DVDs and movies - all have impact on our thoughts. Another influence is the people we associate and interface with. These people can have a strong effect on our thought life whether for good or bad.
We all have the power to choose the influences and directions of our thoughts. This choice on your thought life is one of the most important decisions you will make because with this choice you impact other choices and subsequently the actions you take. The continual evaluation of what we allow to shape our thought life will help us become who we are meant to be. Becoming intentional with what we are going to dwell on mentally is a key element to one's future success.
