Changing your attitude, your outlook, your mindset, perspective, disposition, or mood—they all mean controlling where you allow your thoughts to linger.

It is a fact that one man can be deliriously happy in the exact situation that causes another man to wither from depression.

A dreadful thing one day befell me when a horse came to stand on my toe.  Having no power to remove him, I found that I could not go.An awful thing sometime later befell me when the horse was removed from my toe.  Alone and with naught to secure me, I found I was forced to go.

My mind is a box, dark and lonely, enclosed.It is a place I cannot escape. My mind is a box,bright and busy, exposed.It is a place I can cultivate.
