Wayne Dyer often talks about being careful what you contemplate, as that is what you will create. He makes a great point "The Wright brothers didn’t contemplate the staying on the ground of things. Alexander Graham Bell didn’t contemplate the noncommunication of things. Thomas Edison didn’t contemplate the darkness of things"

Have you ever paid attention to what you are thinking when you eating?
