”The person that has the most to do with what happens to you is you. It’s not somebody else.” Dr. Ben Carson
This quote above falls in line with Milton Erickson’s philosophy in that we have the power within ourselves to improve our situation, if we choose to. We have it within our control to succeed if we put in the labor that is necessary to get there. Once we realize that we make the most what happens to us, and then we can direct our energy and align our mind, body and soul to what we want in life. There is freedom in knowing that we can control our path to where we want to go in our lives. There is no freedom in blaming external realities. Blaming external realities only keeps us prisoners in our self-denial. Instead, let us get out of self-denial and into self-discovery.
