"It is not the thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is worth more than all the rest of the day." Oswald Chambers
Whatever/Whoever one thinks of as God or the Divine or Source is powerful, and we are better people for spending time in reflection and quietude. A day, and one's life, is different if we make spending time with God - as we understand God to be -- a priority in our lives. But, I also think that the thing we spend the most time thinking about does mold us. If what we spend our time thinking about is peace and well-being, that is reflected in our personality, our bodies, our relationships. If what we spend most of our time thinking about is worrying or judgment, our bodies will be uptight, our countenance will be dimmed, and our relationships will be tense. Our choice. For the best balance, it seems to me, spend some time in quietude every day, and for the rest of the day train your mind to think positive thoughts.
