Here’s a different way to look at it.

Inside your mind is a massive apartment complex — hundreds, maybe thousands of rooms. If the average person has around 80,000 thoughts a day, that’s a lot of traffic moving through your mental building.

Now ask yourself:
Who are you renting those rooms to?

Old grudges?
People you don’t like?
Arguments from ten years ago?
Regrets that should’ve been evicted a long time ago?

If you picture your brain as even a simple 50-unit condo building, you start to see the absurdity of it. Would you hand over one of your units — your actual space — to the bad investment you made? To the friend who betrayed you? To the mistake you already learned from?

I stopped doing it. In my building, the doors have double locks. I don’t rent to ideas, memories, or people who make me angry or sad. This is my residence. Why let anything live there that drags me down?

It’s a daily, watchful exercise — but like anything, you get good at it.
Some days you use the Sedona Method.
Some days you simply let the thought pass.
Some days you perform a clean eviction.

But the point is the same: you choose your tenants.

The happiest people aren’t free of problems. They’re just better landlords. They only rent rooms to thoughts, people, and memories that deserve to live there.

Treat your mind like the most valuable property you’ll ever own — because it is. Way more important than that multimillion dollar 20 unit building you just bought. What good is it, if you walk around all day unhappy?
