You hold in your possession the pen that writes your life story. 

When you let other people get you angry or upset, you give away your pen. You let them write the story of your life. You give up your own power of story telling and give them the power to write your story. 

Hold on to your pen.

Never let other people write your life story or tell you what you are worth. Write your own story. If they try to tell you that you are unworthy or that they are superior – hold on to the pen and write your own story of self-worth. Write your own hero’s journey. 

Never give up the pen to write your own story.

“If you’re not writing your own story, you are a character is someone else’s.”

Chris Brogan

 “When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.”

Rebel Thriver 

 “There comes a point in your life when you need to stop reading other people’s books and write your own.”

Albert Einstein 

 “This is my life… my story… my book. I will no longer let anyone else write it; nor will I apologize for the edits I make.”

Steve Maraboli     

“Whenever you’re down on your luck, and when things aren’t going the way you like, remember that you are the author of your own story. You can write it any way you like, with anyone you choose. And it can be a beautiful story or a sad and tragic one. You get to pick.”
