We are what we consume

We can see this easily with the food we eat. But it’s universally applicable.

We are the books and articles we read. The movies we watch and music we hear. We’re the accounts we follow on Instagram and Twitter. We’re the conversations we have and the places we visit. We’re the time we spend (or don’t spend) in silence. That Saturday we spent with an old friend when we drank too much wine with lunch. We’re that experience too.

All that stuff we’re consuming determines which neurons fire and which connections our brains make.

The beauty of this is we get to decide what goes in.

And those choices determine what comes out.
