Summary
On this week's episode, I discuss the importance of the type of things we "feed" our mind.
What we listen to and watch could potentially be damaging.
- If something is going to be in your mind anyway, why not choose what goes in?
- Some people don't want to learn—they just want to know what they already know.
If life was a stream, you could go upstream, downstream, or tread water.
- If you aren't going upstream, you actually are going downstream (whether you are aware of it or not).
- We want to be the kind of people that other people can learn from, but we can only be that if we are in a state of learning.
- People who have influence have something other people want.
Tune in to hear how a friend of Andy's started controlling what goes into her mind and the impact it has had on her.
