This isn’t my quote, but I think it’s true. I really do. Why do we? I think it has a lot to do with controlling our mind. We let out of control thoughts guide us, keeping us in a mental prison of our own making.

If you don’t control your mind, it will control you. It’s just that simple. Think firewalking. How do they do it? By keeping their minds laser focused and clear of negative self talk. They also work in harmony with physics; since coals are poor thermal conductors… Similiarly, it’s how we can fly…. airplanes work in harmony with the earth’s atmosphere… they don’t fight against it. It’s the ONLY way we can fly….. otherwise, we succumb to the force of gravity and fall to the earth… By doing so, we won’t get to where we want to go. So what must we do instead? We work in harmony with our planet’s atmosphere… it really is the only (safest) way.

What’s this mean for your life? You must control your mind and work in harmony with the things you can’t control, instead of fighting against them. This is the only path towards true bliss and to get what you want out of life. It’s that simple. Otherwise, you will find yourself in a constant state of frustration… spinning your wheels… never really going anywhere. You can influence people, yes. You just can not change them, that has to come from within themselves.

Free yourself and work in harmony with the things you can’t control. Sometimes we make life more difficult than it needs to be.
