In trying to please other people, we find ourselves misdirected toward what lies outside our sphere of influence. In doing so we lose our hold on our life's purpose. Don't surrender your mind. Why give your mind over to any person who may influence you? Think twice before you give up your own mind to someone who may revile you, leaving you confused and upset. Let others behave as they will that is not within your control. Do not consent to be hurt and you will not be hurt. This is a choice in which one has control over.
When considering the future, remember that all situations unfold as they do regardless of how we feel about them. Our hopes and fears sway us, not the events themselves. Do not sit around speculating about the possible inconvenience, problems or dangers. As long as reason leads the way, you are safe.
What kind of person do you want to be? Regardless of what others say, be careful with whom you associate with. Do not be afraid of verbal abuse or criticism. Only the morally weak feel compelled to defend or explain themselves to others. Let your actions, speak for themselves. While the behavior of other people is dictated by what is going on around them, hold yourself to a higher standard. Once you have deliberated and determined that a course of action is wise, never discredit your judgment. Stand squarely behind your decisions.
