The first trigger is to CONTROL OUR EYES
We have to control our eyes in three areas. The first is to Control Who We Look At.
Men are famous for not controlling their eyes. When they "can't" stop looking at the women walking by their thoughts fill up on sexuality.
The same principle is true with success. Who are you looking to?
Most people look to the people who are in the same circles and situations they are. That is why Facebook is so HUGE. Most of the time we are looking to people who we like, who like us and nothing has to change. This activity absorbs an enormous amount of time. Is that you?
Other people like to look to frequent complainers. Complainers in a company become a cancer that spreads and kills. They do not cause success.
Our culture is not crazed with looking to entertainers. We are fascinated with their marriage and legal woes. That really doesn't start the thought process of achievement.
Our news programs are filled with murders and thieves and will cause fear is many. The other news stations that are really just news opinion channels. They love it when they can interview yelling heads that interupt each other and are quite opinionated by may not be the most rational.
The ancient writer of Psalms said this:
Who are you looking to? This principle is vital to success. Are you instead, looking to people who are achieving? People who are moving ahead? People who are influencing? People of leadership? If so, your thoughts fill with ideas of bringing yourself into their spheres.
Next post will be the second area we look at that triggers our thoughts.
