“I have no power over you that you don’t give me, and you have no power over me that I don’t give you…Your greatest creation is yourself. Like any great work of art, creating a great self means putting in hard work, every day, for years”
A commitment to yourself, your values, ideas, and integrity is the most important thing in life, for embodying who you are, answering only to your deeper truths, is what gives you existential security and freedom; your personhood can stay in tact from injury, attack, and assault.
