Page 97 Iron prescription whenever you think that’s some situation or some person is ruining your life it is actually you were ruining your life. Feeling like a victim is a perfectly disastrous way to go through life.
— from Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
In the book
And mind your company, because you slowly become the average of the five people you spend the most time with — choose those five as carefully as a crew. Refuse to be your own victim, and quiet the crowd. When you catch yourself thinking some person or situation is ruining your life, apply the old iron prescription: it is you who is doing that to yourself, and you who can stop. Care less what others think, or you remain their prisoner; remember that even choosing not to decide is itself a choice you own. — Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
