About This Quote
Paul Erdos said, “You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” This quote is similar to the idea that we can make our own choices and let them impact us for the better. A lot of times we feel like we are at the mercy of our circumstances and people, but we can take control and make our own decisions.
