They say, “You are what you eat”—referring, of course, to the importance of carefully considering which foods one chooses to take into one’s body. True enough.

But a person is more than simply a material being. It could be argued that it’s even more important to carefully consider which thoughts one chooses to take into one’s mind, for you truly are what you think.

The Quality of Thought

Mastering one’s thoughts might seem a more challenging prospect than managing one’s diet. There are many internal and external influences on our minds and our overall states of being. Still, it seems self-evident that when our thoughts are of a good, upright, true, and positive quality, we benefit ourselves and those within our sphere of influence (a sphere larger than many tend to realize).
