Circumstantial Evidence
If you can change your perspective, you can change your circumstance. No matter what it is. Bold thing to say, right? And I suppose that I should follow that type of statement up with something like, "of course it's easier said than done". The thing is, I don't even know if I believe the whole easier said thing.
