By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry.

See it as a mission

Get yourself on your own side. Align your attitude with your own best interests.

As bothersome, frustrating, and inconvenient as the effort may be, see it not as a struggle. See it as a mission, one you’re fully on board with.

Don’t waste your energy fighting against yourself and your own attitude. Focus your energy on making real progress.

Remind yourself that you’re doing what must be done. That’s a good thing.

The path is difficult, and yet you’re making headway. The cost is high, yet you’re able to pay the cost, bear the burden, and make a difference.

This is no time to drain your energy by feeling sorry for yourself. You’re on a worthy mission, and working to add real value to life.

— Ralph Marston
