What can't be taken from you are your thoughts…
What can't be taken from you are your thoughts, your mental tools, the way you interpret bad luck, loss and setbacks. You can call this space your mental fortress-a piece of freedom that can never be assailed.
— from The Mind in the Cockpit
In the book
Your beliefs are the map you steer by, so a false one is no harmless opinion — it quietly bends every decision downstream of it. And the one possession no thief, no loss, and no disaster can ever take from you is the contents of your own mind — your thoughts, your mental tools, and above all the way you choose to interpret what befalls you. That is the whole estate. — The Mind in the Cockpit
