“If you feel like youre completely stuck in life right now with nowhere to go, realize you are lying to yourself. You have imprisoned yourself in your own mind by telling self-defeating stories stories about what your life should be like, what should or should not have happened, and so on and so forth. By doing this youve created a tiny space in your mind and youve begun to believe you are actually living in it.”
