You are what you consume

Everyone has heard the saying “you are what you eat”. That’s a true statement. It goes beyond that though. Other types of consumptions matter also. Things like media, social media, music, books, etc.

You have to be mindful of everything that you consume. You may want to be a certain type of person or have goals that you’d like to reach in life. Make sure what you’re consuming is consistent to that. When I wanted to be a good football player, I had to consume a lot of football film. All of the great players I’ve been around watched a lot of film. I also had to be around other likeminded and driven individuals. It’s a must.

What you consume on a daily basis is influencing you rather you like it (or know it) or not. Want to be a better man of God? Read the Bible. Want to feel better in general? Consume positive things like self-help books, positive music, podcast, anything.

Most of what you consume is a choice, just like what you to eat is a choice. Consume the things that put you in the right direction to reach your goals and aspirations.
