Do you own your mind, or have you rented a major piece of your mind to others to take care of?
People who have rented their minds do everything that pleases others; they follow the path shown by others; and they are not happy with their achievements unless they get a stamp of praise from others.
Their mood, their smile, their decisions, and their thoughts are all controlled by others. To sum up, they just live the lives that others have decided for them.
This slavery of mind comes right from childhood, where they are completely attached to their parents. Due to the expectations of parents, a fear grows in them that if they fail to do something, they might lose their parents love for them.
This fear of losing the love, care, and attention of their parents makes them nod for everything, even sacrifice their desires, and start living a life of pleasing.
They are easily hurt by people, and this is what they don't want to be subjected to. They develop a mindset where they feel safe only when they say a 'YES' to people.
This nature continues for their lives unless they decide to break it, get back their rented mind, and own it completely.
AND
People who own their minds completely are the ones who never live a life that pleases someone.
They too are attached to their parents, and upon failing to live up to their expectations, they don't have any sort of fear in them of losing their parents love and care, for they know no matter what, they won't stop them from caring.
They are not affected by any kind of hurt by anyone, as they always have an answer ready for them.They love themselves; they do listen to advice from others, but the final decision will be theirs.
These are the people who enjoy their lives and are responsible for all the good and bad in them.They know the art of saying 'NO' to people when they feel it's not worth their life and time.
Which one do you belong to? Do you own your mind completely? Or have you rented your mind to someone?
