Alice Foote MacDougall Mind Quotations

Success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.

When one is working out a problem ... life becomes duality. One's ego transacts the ordinary routine of things, as if the mind had an upper and lower story and the regular performance of the day's duties moved and motivated on the upper floor, while down below the all-absorbing problem toils silently, forcefully, toward its solution.

The small perplexities of small minds eddy and boil about you. Confident from the experience that has led you out of these same dangers, you attack each problem as it appears, unafraid.

Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.
