I love this quote from Oprah Winfrey:
“You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.”

It is the ‘victim mentality’ that keeps us at the same level. It all starts from a thought.

“Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the one who thinks he can!”
Walter D. Wintle
