It's crucial for individuals to feel they have agency and control over their lives, as a lack of this perception can lead to negative mental health outcomes.

When you become aware of your thoughts and emotions, you can consciously choose to change them, which is essential for personal transformation.

We often cannot control the thoughts that come to us, but we can choose how we respond to them. This awareness is key to self-mastery.

I believe that the ability to change your life comes from recognizing the choices that prevent you from pursuing a fulfilling future. You need to remove those obstacles to open new paths.

Deliberate thought and action are essential for personal growth; they should feel challenging but rewarding.

People often overestimate their agency and trust in their intuition, unaware of the subtle manipulations that influence their decisions daily.

The person who truly wants to change understands that they must change themselves rather than waiting for external circumstances to change.

Often, it takes a crisis or trauma for people to reach a point where they are motivated to change, as they seek to escape feelings of discomfort. When you can see yourself through someone else's eyes, that's the moment you begin to change, as you start to notice how you've been thinking, acting, and feeling for years.

Real change comes from desire and understanding, not from forcing yourself to change.
