Garbage in Garbage Out

Garbage in Garbage out

Be careful what you feed your mind on. It has a great bearing on the kind of thoughts you end up thinking. Make a habit of surrounding yourself with all the best and greatest of things. Our thoughts form mostly out of what we see, hear and experience. A combination of these determines the trajectory of our thoughts.

External stimuli for our thoughts is both negative and positive in nature and we have every reason to choose what is positive and uplifting to linger on in our minds while we discard the negative and unhelpful. It is important to make the conscious choice to think after the good we see around us as we keep under the negative. Some sages talk about there being two wolves in the same mind. The wolf you feed grows and gains a controlling stake in your mind. The wolf you starve eventually get suppressed. Practice it long enough and he dies. It is up to you to choose the wolf you want to feed.

GIGO refers to the correlation between the data you feed into a system and its final outcome. The system in many cases is never the problem. It is designed to process what is put into it and let it out on the other side. We must look at our mind as the elaborate processing system for our thoughts that it is. With this realization, we must exercise greater caution with regard to what we feed our minds with. If we become casual and let anything and everything settle, we will have no one but ourselves to blame.

There is nothing as vulnerable as the human mind to all manner of extremities of thought. It is capable of the highest thoughts just as in equal measure it can go as low as is possible. This one trait differentiates us from all of creation. Of all beings, we have the freedom to choose the trajectory of our lives. When we are much younger a lot of choices are made for us but as we grow older, we begin to take charge of our lives and the direction they take. An interesting thing to note is that failure to choose is also a choice and for me it is the worst choice you can make. Nobody likes working with a double minded fellow. If you are doing something in conjunction with others then it requires you to keep your end of the stick intact. In this matter of the mind, it is important that you choose your stimuli carefully because it determines the trajectory of your life.

I will conclude with these wise words. You cannot stop the birds from flying over your head but you sure can stop them from building a nest on it. In short, it is impossible to live without ever experiencing he temptation to sink into negativity but the ultimate choice for what we do with any negative thoughts that come our way, is our responsibility.
