Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

A difficult conversation becomes a problem or becomes information. A setback becomes failure or becomes a redirect. Marcus knew this was not optimism. It was precision. The quality of your day lives in the particular way you think about it, before anything else moves.
