Image
If you're going to answer the call and you're going to transform and you're going to change, get ready. It is not a day at the beach.

You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.
