We realize that the BE, Thoughts, and Faith come from the same place and are in effect the same as: our mindset, our perspective, our philosophy.
How then, do we condition, control or ensure we are building who we BEcome?
How do we manage our thoughts and mindset and increase our faith and belief system?
We do this by paying close attention to, and being mindful of, what we allow into our minds. In essence, this means controlling the environment in which we place ourselves.
Here is a process for working through controlling our environment and ensuring we create the kind of mindset and thought life that will ensure we make progress.
This three-step process and series of questions are essential to our ability to make the best use of our talents and abilities.
Step 1: Make a note of who and what influences you by answering these questions:
1. Who do I spend a lot of time around and allow to influence me?
2. What do I watch and read?
3. What do I listen to?
Step 2: Determine the impact they are having on you by answering these questions:
1. What do they have me thinking?
2. What do they have me doing?
3. Who do they have me becoming?
4. Is that Ok?
Step 3: Based on the answers above, there are some decisions to be made:
1. Do I need to reduce my association with these people and things?
2. Do I need to increase my association with these people and things?
3. Do I need to keep my association the same with those people and things?
4. Do I need to eliminate my association all together?
This is a great exercise to reposition yourself and possibly move in a new direction and phase of your life.
