OK~so, first things first. Let's get this quote thing out of the way and start diggin into my brain a little bit.
Let's start with:
"We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation." --Jane Fonda
Like the repetition of a mantra, is what I'm thinking she's saying here. A simple way to regain control of one's life is to take control of one's words and not allow them to get the best of us, instead using them as a source of personal power. Mantras are like the eastern religious traditions' way of praying, a way to speak to God Within so that we can again become master of our destiny instead of allowing the world to rock our boats and knock us off course. I think prayer is powerful in its own right, it's like handing over our issues to the Greater Power in order that they leave us in peace. Anytime anyone in the world begins to worry, they should have a mantra or prayer ready, so that nothing can get in the way of joyful living.
Well, that's what I got out of it anyway!
