Author and prosperity coach Randy Gage warns that in today’s environment of nonstop negativity, safeguarding your mind is essential to personal success.

“Protect your mind like a fortress,” Gage wrote in a recent blog post. “Your thoughts are either building your dream or building your nightmare.”

Gage argues that the people and media we allow into our lives influence us more deeply than we realize. Exposure to negative programming — from friends, family, entertainment, and news — can undermine self-confidence, fuel limiting beliefs, and erode prosperity consciousness. He urges readers to be intentional about their mental diet, avoiding toxic influences and instead surrounding themselves with positive, empowering inputs.

Randy Gage is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and speaker whose work focuses on helping individuals break free from limiting beliefs around money, success, and personal worth. His teachings often center around the power of mindset and self-awareness to achieve prosperity and fulfillment.
