Affirmation for August 30, 2011: Mind Over Matter
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.- Marcus Aurelius
Thought of the Day:
There are times when, under the pressures of daily life, we see mountains instead of molehills. We take on the responsibilities and additional challanges that life throws at us with a willing heart and an open mind. Sometimes, though, we take on just enough that if we take on any more, we feel as if we're going to crack.
The mind is a powerful tool. It can give us the confidence to overcome these challenges and take on life at its most intense moments. But it can also make the simplest tasks seem impossible. Using your mind reduce annoyances and make the impossible manageable is a power we all hold. Make the most of it.
Good Luck!
