“Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.” – Paul Tournier
You are your thoughts. Control your mind and you control your life. Outside events will no longer dictate your mood. Study philosophy, read, listen to podcasts or audiobooks, go to church, surround yourself with positive people.
But guess what? Everything I just mentioned is an outside influence. And didn’t we want outside influences/events to not determine our thoughts and feelings? Yes. But here’s the kicker…you need to carefully select what you allow in your mind space. You get to choose what enters your mind. Take in that which builds you up and expel that which is trying to tear you down.
You can become anything you want if you believe it and are taking intentional steps toward achieving your goals.
