Seneca No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have. SenecaExternal things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them which you can erase right now. Marcus Aurelius The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own. Epictetus Self-disruption is akin to undergoing major surgery, but you are the one holding the scalpel. Jay Samit You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. Epictetus You become what you think about most often. Brian TracyThe soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Marcus AureliusYou have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
