A couple of weeks ago I received the following message from my brother:
“If you are what you eat, then you think what you read.”
These last five words struck me as profoundly true.
That is: that our thoughts, beliefs, dreams, fears, doubts and insecurities are shaped by the things we consume. Be it books, news articles, social media, TV shows, movies, podcasts, advertisements and anything in between.
With this in mind, I see two things worth noodling on:
- What am I reading and consuming?
- How is it serving me?
Also, full credit to my sister who, within minutes of receiving the same message, replied:
“I guess that makes me a chocolate frog.”
