MIND CONTROL<br />
When people think of the words “mind control,” they<br />
think of people controlling the minds of other<br />
people. Not me.<br />
I think about controlling my own mind.<br />
Sure, we are physical beings, and we must obviously<br />
embrace our physicality.<br />
But we are our minds.<br />
And I’m not going to go philosophical on what that<br />
means and where the “YOU” actually is—whether it is a<br />
soul or your brain or your heart or some other<br />
conjured-up place.<br />
What I do know is this: You, your mind, the thing<br />
that is reading and <strong>com</strong>prehending these words right<br />
now, that IS YOU.<br />
And you can control it. You are the machine, and you<br />
can control it.<br />
People ask me, “How do I get tougher?”<br />
BE TOUGHER.<br />
“How can I wake up early in the morning?”<br />
WAKE UP EARLY.<br />
“How can I work out consistently every day?”<br />
WORK OUT CONSISTENTLY EVERY DAY.<br />
“How can I stop eating sugar?”<br />
STOP EATING SUGAR.<br />
You can even control your emotions:<br />
“How can I stop missing that girl or guy or whoever<br />
broke up with me?”<br />
STOP MISSING THEM.<br />
You have control over your mind. You just have to<br />
assert it.
