You must be the master of your own kingdom

If you don’t own something, you’re not the boss.

You gotta own things. With your eyes and heart fully open.

And by things I don’t mean physical things, but whatever there is to own.

Own a project, own a task, own a book, own yourself.

You have to repeat it to yourself.

Own your life.

And maybe bring it to the next level:

Understand the game of life

You are part of the life game, understand the life game, accept the rules and know how to play ‘Life’.

I want that you own your life and that’s how you win the life’s game.

There are two identities:

Identity and the expectations around you

The struggle between a) your own desires, who you truly are and b) other people’s perception of you.

Ongoing battle: You have to tell yourself who you are.

So either you give up and become what others want you to be.

Or you take the fight and:

And the only way to become who you truly are, is by owning your life.

Take responsibility for your actions.

By being a reliable human being.

Own your words.

By being who you think you are.

Live as the person you say you are.

By being you.
