Today I was listening to one of my Jim Rohn audios and it just so happened that it was one where he speaks of influence. In essence he says; who am I around? What have they got me saying? What have they got me thinking? and Is that okay? Good questions right?
But not only are these questions about the people you are around, live and in person, these are questions about what you watch on the television, what you listen to on the radio, and read in newspapers and magazines.
What you watch, listen to, or read has every bit as much influence on you as the people you associate with. And that influence is critical to your health, your wealth and your happiness. You may think that there is no connection but let me illustrate.
An acquaintance of mine is having a challenge financially. He watches financial news networks every day & says the economy is to blame for his woes, while another acquaintance of mine, who watches no such programs has seen his business vastly increase this year. And I have a friend that listens to talk radio all day long. In conversation, the ideas and opinions he hears are evident. He also has a list of health issues as long as your arm. You don't see any connections? Negative information has a negative effect on you. Always. On the days he is unable to listen to the radio at work his list of ailments is shorter. Negative information creates dis-ease. Dis-ease is the source of disease. Happy people are healthy people. Nuff said?
So ask yourself; who am I around? What have they got me saying? What have they got me thinking? and Is that okay?
