day no. 16,116: think about what you care about

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all vigilance,

for from it flow the springs of life.

Think about what you care about.

What you care about shapes you and flavors what flows out of you. Ideas have consequences and affections find their way out our fingertips. What we love affects what we do and when and where we do it. It influences why we do anything and informs how we go about doing it. If you allow poison into your drinking water, you can expect it to show up in your body. You export what you produce. You import what you value. Guard the gates of your heart well. Keep tabs on who gets in and what gets out. For from the town hall of the city center, all the loves and laws of living are proclaimed to the rest of the kingdom.
