From the book Simple Secrets for Becoming Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, by David Niven:
'We often let one frustration block out our vision of everything else. When you feel defeated by a problem, step back from the situation and look at your life with a longer-range perspective....
...It's easy to get caught up in every problem you have - to race from one thing to the next and never really see where you are going....
...habit undermines our ability to persevere: It becomes so much easier to think "It's impossible"....
...emphasize the importance of thinking big. Everybody knows how to make decisions that instantly please them; what's important is to learn to think beyond that. When you learn to balance your natural tendency to live for today with a long-term vision, you can start really planning for what you want.
Satisfaction with life is nine times more strongly affected by a feeling of general life quality than by specific events or challenges in life.'
