From Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations":
“Many of those things that trouble and straiten you, it is in your power to cut off, as wholly depending from mere conceit and opinion; and then you will have room enough.”
There is much truth in this quote, that our dispositions are largely dependent upon our perspectives and our willingness to let go of things. I often tell my students that learning to live well (to live happily) is the art of learning to let go.
