All of Your Problems Are Self-Chosen

I've actually believed a more extreme version which is all of your pain is self-chosen. I can't say that I can live this very well, but this is a very liberating belief. So even if you can't put it into practice, if you just say that this is what I'm going to believe from now on, things will be better. The downsides, you'll embrace them more. Read what Victor Frankle went through in the Nazi concentration camps and how he survived it. If you look to anyone who's overcome adversity, you'll see that people chose their pain. These people got over their pain by choosing the pain.
