“I feel overwhelmed by things I can't control.”
“You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realise this, and you will find strength. Focus not on what happens, but on how you respond.”
“But what if the situation truly is impossible?”
“The obstacle is the way. What impedes action, advances action. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting.”
