Is It Wisdom or Garbage?
Garbage In — Garbage Stays. When our minds soak up unhealthy or unproductive thoughts and ideas, it penetrates our subconscious, and there it stays to influence future thoughts, and future actions the way dirt sticks to a sponge. Then, the things we see and hear become a part of us, and none of us want that.
So what can we do? Poet Jane Kenyon has some advice for us…
“Read good books that will keep good sentences in your ears.”
And what happens? Writer Pat Conroy has an idea…
“They settled down in the contented residence of your heart.”
Same goes for thoughts and ideas, and all that is around us, to become upright, successful, and significant. You need to fill your mind, and your heart, with thoughts and ideas that keep you on that path. You must view your life as being in a constant state of improvement.
Plan your actions purposely to improve what is already there, because in doing so, you’ll discover another intellectual truth… Wisdom In — Wisdom Stays. I wish for you a very productive week.
