You are never destroyed by anyone else but yourself: the great optimistic and empowering thought in life and existence.

If only you can destroy yourself, it means nobody else has power or provenance over yourself but you.

Life is 100% in your control and your hands.

Does this thought give you the greatest degree of joy? Or does it crush you with immense self-responsibility?

Grab the steering wheel

We cannot control what happens to us, but we have the power to write the narrative of the event. For example for anything shitty that happens in your life, be clever and try to figure out how this event or expedience will make you stronger and more epic in the long-run.

For us strong, even the most toxic things and events can act as our stimulants towards strength. We can handle the strongest and most bitter life experiences, just like uncut coffee. We don’t need sugar — we prefer it all black.

Control your narrative, control your life.
