Sylvia’s Quotes

“There is no condition so severe that you cannot reverse it
by choosing different thoughts. However, choosing different
thoughts requires focus and practise. If you continue to focus
as you have been, to think as you have been, and to believe
as you have been, then nothing in your experience will change"

~ from 'Ask And It Is Given' ~”
― Hickman, and Overby Butler
