Food gives our bodies energy. We need energy in order to perform to the best of our ability which is why proper diet and nutrition are important to living a healthy life. The same is true with our minds. What we feed our thoughts day in and day out will create our reality. Our minds react to what they see over and over again.

In high school, I remember my mother saying, "Garbage in. Garbage out." At the time, I didn't know what she meant. Today, not only do I understand where she was coming from...I have become my mother! One example that comes to mind is when I visited a friend in Washington, DC several years ago. She wanted to stay up and watch a show that was very popular at the time but it wasn't the most soul-filling intellectual choice on television. I never saw the show and didn't own a television at the time and I still knew it wasn't food for the spirit. So I told her I was going to bed. When she asked why, I said, "Garbage in. Garbage out." She looked shocked and still teases me about this episode today.

Feeding your body properly is just as important as feeding your spirit. What have you dined on today?
