If you have ever endeavored in the arena of personal development then you no doubt have heard these three statements;
a. As a man thinketh so is he
b. You are the company you keep
c. Environment matters
In no time in the past has this been possible, than in the latter part of the 20th Century and the present time we are in right now to accomplish this necessary task of development. We have the opportunity to surround ourselves with quality information that will transform our lives.
I am amazed at the FREE quality information you and I can get our hands on. The tools, not toys that are accessible to us via MP3 players, iPods, Car Stereos, E-book Readers, and videos on the web are remarkable.
These tools give us the possibility to turn any environment into an “ENERGIZED ENVIRONMENT.” Your car, your home, and your office should all be EE Zones. While you are working out, standing in line at the grocery store or waiting at the DMV, all these places can be turned into EE Zones.
It is said that each of us have 85,000 transitional thoughts a day, 85% being negative. No wonder most people have bad attitudes. And here is the kicker, we all fall victim to it. Let me give you an example:
We walk in the store, we complain because we can’t find what we are looking for. Then, once we find it, we say that sure is a dumb place to have it. Next we find a line, complain about how long it is, and then complain about the person working at the counter. We then start a negative conversation with the people around us about how bad the store is. Leave the store and continue to complain to everyone we see about our bad experience in the store.
Have you ever been guilty of this, sure you have, we all have. I make it a habit now to carry something positive to listen to wherever I go, so I can control my environment. I suggest that you do the same.
Make all your environments “ENERGIZED ENVIRONMENTS.”
