In The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book
, Don Miguel Ruiz says the following: “Seeing the awesome power of the word, we must understand what power comes out of our mouths. One fear or doubt planted in our mind can create an endless drama of events.” The most important (and most difficult) work you’ll ever have to do to be AND stay extraordinarily successful comes in being vigilant with your mind.
The mind will accept whatever is allowed in it as true. That’s why people say things like “You are the company you keep.” Your mind will take in the stimuli it receives. If your goal is to live a positive, upbeat, happy life, spending time with people who complain is a No-No. If your goal is to build a multi-million dollar empire, spending 5 hours a day watching reality TV is not going to get you that.
“We become what we think about all day long.” –Dr. Wayne Dyer
If we monitored our thoughts as vigilantly as we monitor other people’s behavior, we would have more power and prosperity than we’d know what to do with.
The lesson?

You are the master of your own mind.
You control what thoughts you allow in. It’s time to be vigilant about what gains entrance into your mind and, eventually, into your heart.
