I keep this in my wallet and also in my desk drawer a a reminder to myself. 🙂
I don’t know if I agree with this. For a long time, my thoughts were not my own and I did what my parents, teachers, bosses told me to do. Was I too obedient?
I think it tends to happen when we are not thinking – in other words, what we fill our minds with ends up influencing us. Eg what we read, listen to; or who we are with. We become more and more of who we are and our values are formed out of that. (Mind you, that looks more obscure than Ghandi.)
