....the way we think they should be. When our plans go awry, we feel let down. We have ideas about what's appropriate, beliefs about what's desirable, expectations about what's feasible. We can't help this. It's the way we are made. We are, though, also made with a little 'switch' in the back of our minds. We can train ourselves to turn off, or at least tone down, certain thought processes.
Like a valve grown stiff from years of sitting behind a cupboard, never being used, this inner facility is not always easy to access. But if you now want to change the way you look at life, you can. And then it will prove easy to alter life itself!
Hope is like the sun which, as we journey towards it, casts the shadow
of our burden behind us. (Samuel Smiles)
