Are You a Master Or Slave

Within each one of us there is
 a master of the universe.
 Not the universe out there, 
but the inner universe of 
our thoughts and feelings,
 attitudes and actions.

 Most people realise too late 
what awaits within and 
how valuable it is.
 
For too long we allow ourselves
 to be distracted and bewitched 
by all that is happening outside.

 To be the master of your inner world is 
to be the master of your own destiny.
 Are you going to be the master or a slave?
