What have you read today?


What have you read today?

Who are the people that you have spent time with?

"Why?" do you ask?

Well..one of my favorite quotes is from Charlie 'Tremendous' Jones -

"You are the same today as you'll be in five years, except for two things:
The people you meet...and the books you read."

Makes you think doesn't it? (Like the best quotes do!)

So - if you have been filling your head with yesterday's news...or comic books...or even a good 'thriller' - how much impact do you think that that investment of time will have had on your life in the future?

And...if you associate with people who are negative...and even those who aren't 'ahead' of you...then, I ask you...how much do you think that you'll benefit from those relationships?

It may seem harsh...but if you constantly are around negative events and 'down' people - then it won't be long before you catch the negativity 'bug'.

I know...I'm still trying to get out of it myself.

One of my best friends at work was one of the most negative people about his career that you could ever meet. Sure - he WAS a nice guy, don't get me wrong. But...we'd go out for a drink...and all it was was moan moan moan about how the company was bad, how badly his boss treated him, how 'unlucky' he was.

It took me some time before I realised how 'toxic' he was to my own ambitions!

Coupled with reading and watching the news about impending war...or this or that disaster...and my mind was forever filling up with 'bad' input...and pushing out the positive frame of mind that I was spending so much time cultivating!

So...if you do only one thing tomorrow - look at ways you can clear some of the negativity out of your life.

You'll be surprised at how much room you'll make!
