28. Garbage In, Garbage Out

There is an old programming axiom that says if you put in garbage data or garbage code, you will get garbage output. We too are influenced by what we take in. Be mindful and even protective about what you take in, whether it’s what you watch on TV, what you read, to whom you listen, what you eat, what you allow yourself to dwell on, and the opinions of others. All of these are inputs that ultimately impact what comes out of you by way of your words, work, attitude, thoughts, and opinions. Managing what you take in and what you put out will only increase in value and impact.

What garbage am I “taking in” that is negatively impacting what I “put out”?
