Consequences: The difference in outlook, though small, defines the way in which one leads and reacts to life, or one defends and becomes a victim of life.

Root-Cause: It's all a matter of reaction. In the split-second between the situation and the reaction, the mind performs a Boolean processing, which is - does it hurt or not, is it difficult or not, should I say Yes or No. O: The answer is yes or positive, if you (the owner and programmer of the mind) believe that life is a continually folding experience and that everything is possible P: The answer is no or negative, if you believe that life is a predefined reality and that you were born to face the music.
