Every Thought Gives Birth to Another

Sep 20, 2024

I once underestimated the power of that line. But the truth is, every time we read a book, scroll through TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, every tweet, every podcast, every conversation—it all affects us in some way.

The impact can be either positive or negative. I love comedy—really, I do. The sarcasm in shows like Frasier and Seinfeld has always been a favorite, and I grew up on much edgier stuff like Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and Raw. Harlem Nights and other films like it were my go-to. But as I got older and grew in my faith, I realized that every thought spawns another thought. I had to start watching what I consumed.

It’s like eating a greasy burger every day; sooner or later, a heart attack is inevitable because what you consistently put in your body affects you. But if you’re eating lean protein and veggies, your body reacts differently. The mind is the same—what you feed it is what you’ll get out. So I began to change everything around me. I unfollowed anyone on social media who wasn’t speaking life into me in some way. Relationships that were negative? I don’t have them anymore. I need more positive thoughts in my life to cultivate deeper thoughts. I no longer want to consume just anything.

When I hear a speaker say something thought-provoking, it elevates my mind. In turn, it helps me provide more thought-provoking content to those who follow me.

If this message resonates with you, I encourage you to take action today. Follow those who speak life into you and unfollow those who don’t. Don’t hold any grudges—you’re simply maturing and seeking something different in your life, and that’s okay.
