Difficulties and Will

Sickness is a hindrance to the body, but not to your ability to will, unless that is your choice. Lameness is a hindrance to the leg, but not to the will. Say this to yourself with regard to everything that happens; then you will see such obstacles as hindrances to someone else, but not to yourself. For whatever happens to you, do not forget to turn to yourself and to seek ways in which you can confront it.
