Don’t bend under now
Nothing around you matters
Stop allowing your attention to wander
You control that much don’t you
I mean it’s obvious
If you couldn’t control this much
What would that make you then
Would you even be you
What would be of your ego then
You control this much, remember that
However you had to evoke the memory
You must continue to see the world free
You’re free to decide what you do
Even when you decide to do nothing
Nothing isn’t forcing, you go to nothing
Want something? Then walk aware
See everything you do
Even the most remedial task
Do them all with all of you there
The world tries to scatter you. It tosses noise, distraction, emotion—anything to pull your focus away from the moment. But if you let your attention drift too far, too often, you become a passenger in your own life. That’s not who you are. You’ve worked too hard to build awareness, to become conscious of your decisions. And now is not the time to give that away. Not when your presence is your sharpest weapon.
You always have the power to choose—even when you think you don’t. That’s the illusion: that the chaos around you somehow owns your will. But it doesn’t. You can stop. You can return. You can center. Even choosing to do nothing is still your decision. It only becomes defeat when you forget that you made the choice. When you forget that you’re the one holding the wheel.
So take that control back—not just in big moves, but in the tiny ones too. Make everything count. Every step, every chore, every silent moment. Bring yourself to it. Show up with your full attention, even when the task is dull. That’s how the ego stays alive—not by shouting, but by quietly witnessing everything. That’s how you walk aware. That’s how you reclaim your mind.
