Summary

This quote emphasizes the power and autonomy of one's own mind. It suggests that we have control over what thoughts, influences, and beliefs we allow into our mental space. Our minds are seen as sacred territories that we should safeguard and protect. We have the ability to filter out harmful or negative influences, only permitting entry to those ideas, emotions, and perspectives that align with our values and bring us positivity and growth. Ultimately, it is through our own permission and vigilance that we can maintain a healthy and peaceful state of mind.
