“We can control our lives by controling our perceptions.”

“We can’t always control what happens in our lives- things will go well, things will go poorly-but what we can control is our response to those events.”

“Whatever controls us is our lord. The person who seeks power is controlled by power. The person who seeks acceptance is controlled by acceptance. We do not control ourselves. We are controlled by the lord of our lives.”

“If we don't control our schedule - our schedule will control us. If we don't find a way to live a balanced life -our lives will get out of balance.”

“It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974) ”

“that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.”
