“The mind is like a garden. Weeds don’t have to have any encouragement to grow. You don’t have to water them. They don’t have to get sunshine. They don’t have to have fertile ground. They will grow through the cracks of a sidewalk! But if you want to grow orchids… or roses… or any kind of exotic flowers, there are special processes and procedures you must go through. By the same token, you don’t have to force yourself or motivate yourself to think negatively, to be depressed, to hate somebody, to want revenge, to want to get back at somebody, to beat yourself up over the head, to feel loaded with guilt. You don’t have to make any effort to do that. The mind is on automatic, it will do that by itself. But- if you want to begin to move into your own personal greatness, if you want to begin to really enjoy a happy successful healthy life, you’ve got to be willing to go against the tide, you’ve got to be willing to harness your will, and say in spite of this, I’M IN CONTROL HERE. I’m not gonna let this get me down, and I’m not gonna let this destroy me. I’m coming back. And I’ll be stronger and better because of it. “ -Les Brown
