Proverbs 4:20-27

My son, pay attention to what I tell you; listen to the words I'm saying. Don't lose sight of them; think about them deeply, for they are life to anyone who finds them, and make the whole body healthy. Most of all, protect your mind, for everything in life flows from it. Don't ever lie, and don't say anything dishonest. Focus on what's ahead of you; look at what's in front of you. Pay attention to the path you decide to follow, and you'll be safe wherever you go. Don't deviate to the right or the left, and turn away from evil.
