People think they can't control the thoughts in their heads and the feelings that follow from those thoughts. This isn't true. We make ourselves victims of our thoughts when we have the power to think whatever we want, despite how we feel. We disempower ourselves by believing we have this limitation of being unable to control our thoughts. It takes time, patience and discipline to train your mind so that you control your thoughts rather than being controlled by them. You want to improve your life? Stop believing you are powerless over your thoughts and feelings.
