"I will tell you of a strangely wonderful way to live. It is to live
in defeat without despair. Think about this idea very attentively.
What would your day be like if you were defeated at every turn,
but reacted with no despair? It would be the same as if there was
no defeat, wouldn't it?
You go through your day, defeated by one event after another. You
spill coffee on your clothes, the car breaks down, you feel lost,
you cannot come to a necessary decision, the thrill you thought
would last has faded and left you empty.
If you will let these things happen to you without reacting to
them with a conditioned mind, there will be neither defeat nor
despair. Both are merely reactions of the conditioned mind to
an event."
Vernon Howard The Power of your Supermind, p. 73
