Quote of the Day

A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping stone to the optimist. 

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Quote of the Day

“Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is... The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds. ”
― Dan Millman
