If you can't control what you think, you will not be able to control what you do.

You want to change your life? Control the only thing you can control: the meaning you give something.

You are responsible for how your life turns out, and your attitude shapes that life for better or worse.

If you think your obstacles are too big, they will be. Don't set limits on your life with your thinking.

But the politically-incorrect truth is that racism today is a state of mind, more than a social reality.

Oh yes, it exists, and the news media is always quick to highlight examples of anti-black racial hostility, but it is not the all-powerful, institutional beast so many say it is. But once people believe racism is their main problem, they become subject to that idea, and it prevents them from progressing.

That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best - make it all up - but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way.

Don't think about that either. If you don't think about it, it doesn't exist. The hell it doesn't. But that's the system I'm going on, he thought.
