“Fill your mind with good things, and the rest will follow. You gotta be careful with what you fill your mind with. It all starts in your mind. Whatever you put your attention to, that’s what grows in your life. So if you put a lot of attention to struggling, you gonna struggle. If 99 bad things happen, and one good thing happens, you gotta take a real hard look at that good thing and focus on that, and try to keep making that happen. Keep your mind staying on good things."
