“Troubles are only mental; it is the MIND that manufactured them, and the mind can gorge them, banish them, abolish them.”
I have the hardest time with this, but I believe Twain is right. Our own mental self-talk can either build you up or tear you down. And, how you confront physical real troubles comes down to your own attitude about it…yes, some troubles are very hard, very sad, very debilitating…and yet, I can overcome them as long as I move resolutely in my mind towards the positive, towards the determination to NOT QUIT.
