It is what you think it to be

Life is as easy or as hard as you think it is.  Jonathan Lockwood Huie

What we think we live.
If I wake up in the morning and think to myself, "Oh this day is going to suck for "xyz reason(s)" then I've already started my day thinking in a negative direction.  Chances are really good that even the simple things that day will be difficult because I have said they would be.
When we think it will be hard it is.  Why?  Because when we set ourselves up for difficulty it's as if we have given our attitudes permission to stink.
But on the flip side when we think it will be manageable, easy, accomplished, etc it is.  Why?  Because when we set ourselves up for success it's as if we have given our attitude permission to be optimistic.
Life is this, it is as easy or hard as you think it is.
