Og Mandino Quotes

You can not live your life just based on what everyone else thinks.

I don't live on other people's terms.

I'm not gonna give anybody the power to control my life.

I don't play no one else's game and I don't run no one else's race because if I did that, I wouldn't be who I am.

I don't worry about other people, and I don't let them influence me too much. I try to find out what I want to do and not what other people want me to do.

At the end of the day, I'm my own person.

You just gotta live your life and do it your way.

I stay in my lane and do what I want to do. I don't worry about the outside world.

I'm not going to give in to the critics. I'm going to stop on my own terms, not on when someone else thinks I should.

The first rule of survival is: Make your own rules. The hell anyone thinks about the way you're acting; listen only to yourself.

Like my freedom. If I feel like I'm being controlled, I get crazy. Because I know I made it this far by following my intuition. I think people like who I am, and I like who I am, and I want to be a better version of myself every single day. So stop controlling me!

Why should I give someone else such power over my life?

I will not live out of me I will not see with others' eyes My good is good, my evil ill I would be free.

I've always been like nah, I'm going to have it my way, that way, when I look out that window at the end of the day, I can say I did it my way, whether it's on a higher level, or a level where I can just maintain, I can still say I did it my way.

Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.

What other people think of me is not my business. What I do is what I do. How people see me doesn’t change what I decide to do.

You are the master of your own earthly destiny just as surely as you have the power to control your own thoughts

Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.

You just have to do your own thing, no matter what anyone says. It's your life.

Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.

Freedom is control in your own life.

I've always had a healthy disregard for authority - it allows me to do my job as a portrait photographer and not as someone who is playing the power game.

No man bosses me around, and no man ever will.

All I'm gonna do is just go on and do what I feel.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
