Attitude Quote by Ramon Presson
““confined by a my-life-sucks attitude. If we always see our present circumstances as our definitive frame of reference, we’re in trouble. Our daily bread will be disappointment, frustration, and resentment. Our contentment and joy will be completely dependent upon our own comfort and ease. I don’t mean to suggest that self or circumstances don’t matter. But when we don’t set our sights above and beyond our own personal and present concerns, we live like a cyclops with one eye in the middle of our forehead—no peripheral vision.””
