Parenting Learning

Some say that we are the sum total of what we surround ourselves with. For example, what we choose to watch on television, listen to on the radio, who we choose to surround ourselves with and even the thoughts we think all have an effect on our overall perceptions and thought patterns. Just like the foods that we eat, over time, create our bodies, our thoughts shape who we are, and ultimately what types of situations we manifest in our lives.

When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen.

Covey points out in his introduction: "Words sell and words repel; Words lead and words impede; Words heal and words kill."
