Most people think that they can suceed or fail because of physical strength or talent or youth. . . . . but this actually makes very little difference at all. People succeed or fail because of their attitude.

There is a young man of 21 years old in Japan who lectures about how to be happy and content in the world. His mother had taken the wrong drugs and he was born with any legs or arms at all. Another women became a reknown artist in Japan - she paints by holding the brush between her teeth - her husband in a mad rage to kill here hacked off both of her arms with a kitchen knife. She is quite successful and happy today.

You can have everything in the world and failure. You can have nothing at all and succeed and be happy - it is not luck or circumstance, it is all about mental attitude. Please think about this in your practice.
