I too believe in mind control that we are powerful beings with great wills. I love how you expound this truth based on the quote. You said this beautifully :

This quote, for me, is a constant reminder of the actual pureness of the mind. Your thoughts clutter it with meaning and interpretation and opinion. But if you choose to sit still and let go of all your thoughts (a state which meditations aim at), you will be able to see your mind and your soul as the beautiful thing it is- a place to reflect, but also a place to simply be.

Such a good read from you, @tripswithtam :) That picture you took is also very beautiful!
congrats on your win, well deserved!
