The Undiscerning Mind

"The undiscerning mind is like a root of a tree-it absorbs equally all that it touches-even the poison that would kill it.”~Master Po, from Kung Fu

Your associations are the most important part of your life and business. Do you constantly evaluate them? Why not? Those associations are influencing you whether you know it or not. Are they influencing you for the better or for worse...

Here are some questions to ask yourself about your associations:
1. Who are you around?
You've got to evaluate everybody that you are around and their influence on you.

2. What are these associations doing to me or for me?
Are you listening to them? What do they have you thinking about yourself? How are you talking when you are around them? How do they make me feel?

3. Is that ok?
Maybe everyone you associate with is lifting you up, only concerned about your highest good, only looking out for your best interests. If so, that's great. Congratulations in picking the best associations, then again there might be some bad apples in that bunch. Take the time to take a second look at your associations.

It's really easy to dismiss the influence of others in our lives. Everything matters! You've got to keep checking to make sure the associations that you allow yourself to have are positive and uplifting for you.
