We have all heard the sayings "you are what you eat", "you are what you think", "you are who you surround yourself with". What is the common thread of all three sayings? You are in your hands, and an accumulation of your choices over time. One bad thought doesn't poison the mind. One cookie as a treat for a long week doesn't poison the body. One hang out with a "bad friend" doesn't poison your life. However, if we do things that do "poison" those realms again and again over time, it does alter our reality. We function off repetitions, off habits, off routines, and therefore are a product of cumulative effect. The silver lining of this message? You can change what you accumulate at any time. You can shift your choices. You are an alchemist.
