You absolutely own your mind.

It’s yours.

This is part of “the gift of life” thing that you get in exchange for never having asked to be born.

You are the proprietor of your thoughts and feelings, and you choose how you frame the many experiences that form the campus of personality.

It’s a glorious moment of self-awareness. 

The day you realize that you are the warden, rather than the prisoners of emotions.

The interesting thing about our minds, is that if we don’t actively seize control of them, they default to autopilot

When you don’t take an aggressive role in shaping your thoughts, feelings and perceptions, you become a helpless passenger, 

Floating through the universe like a ghost ship, merely reacting to wherever it takes you.

Awesomely, you don’t have to go along with it.
