The question to ask yourself isn’t:
“What am I getting?”, it’s: “Who am I becoming?”
Jim Rohn
Wow – this is a great question. Today when I read this quote from Jim Rohn, I started to ask myself several more questions.
So today’s notes are full of questions for you and me 
…
Question 1: What am I listening to and reading?
Everything you and I listen to, whether it be audio or video goes into our minds to form a part of the structure of our lives. There is a Hebrew word “yetzer” found in the Old Testament of the Bible.
This word is often translated as “imaginations”. The fuller meaning of the word is framework and sometimes refers to mental framework (or imaginations).
So everything I listen to goes into my subconscious mind to form a part of this framework (also referred to as “prejudice”).
Everything I read goes into my mind and on into my subconscious mind.
Everything I watch also goes into my subconscious mind to form a part of this same framework.
This mental structure (or mindset) will determine who I become.

Question 2: Who am I associating with each day?
The people that you and I associate with, the conversations we hear and participate in all influence the framework of our lifes.
It is a widely known fact that you will become like the 5 people who are closest to you. Do you REALLY want to be like them? (Another words, do you have the right 5 people in your inner circle?)
The people that I associate with determine who I become.

Question 3: What am I allowing to influence me today?
These influences all become a part of the framework of my life which plays a huge role in who I am becoming.
Are you allowing the right things, people and voices to influence you?
This same influence is what you are passing on to others. There is no way that you and I can be one thing and teach (or try to teach) something else.
No matter what words we speak – others will learn more from us (be influenced) from who we are – not from what we say..
Are there some changes to be made in your sphere of influence today?
