Why You Should Be Confident
Why should you be confident? Everything can be taken away from you by time or misfortune. So… why, again? Because you have reasoned choice, and nothing can take that away.

You Don’t Own Much
All the things that you think you own — you don’t really. Any number of events could rip them away from you. You don’t own much at all, in fact, aside from your life and your reasoned choice.
Attachment Holds You Back
Clinging to things is the opposite of rational thought, for change happens always, whether we want it to or not. Embrace that change and let go of your attachments, and set yourself free.
The Buck Stops With You
When it comes to things within the power of your choice, the responsibility and accountability lies with you — nobody else.
How to Be Truly Powerful
It is possible to go eye to eye with the rich and powerful — but it isn’t money, position, or reputation that will get you there.
Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones
You can come to bodily harm without warning, and sometimes without any way to avoid it. But you always maintain full control of your mind and your reasoned choice, and in that sense you can’t be beaten.
Don’t Be Fooled by Good Fortune
Good times can lull us into complacency and weakness of spirit. Instead, use that time to strengthen your soul so that you’re not overwhelmed by a change in fortune.
Your Main Superpower
You have one power above all else, and that power will guide you in all decisions and render you invincible if you use it.
Good and Evil Are In Your Choices
Want to know whether something is good or evil? It comes from inside you, from your choices. Look inward.
