When Your Mind Becomes Your Prison

Have you ever noticed how the same event can devastate one person while barely affecting another? A rejection letter might crush someone for weeks, while their friend sees it as redirection toward something better. The difference isn't in what happened-it's in the invisible architecture of thought that shapes how we interpret everything. This distinction isn't just philosophical; it's the difference between living freely and remaining trapped in self-created cages. Understanding this changes everything, because once you see how your thoughts construct your reality, you can finally rebuild it.
