Nothing in life is that complicated. You can do anything you set your mind to. If you roll up your sleeves, you get in there and you do it. Everything is figure-outable.

*Marie Forleo的精神可以归纳出三个重要观念:
1. Everything is figureoutable.
亦即人生中几乎所有的事情都是可以被解决的。
2. Things that are not workable
不能被解决的事情通常都不是我们能控制的,例如出生与死亡。
3. Other things
如果以上两者皆不是,代表这件事不在你目前的优先排序之中。
活学活用:
请用 set your mind to XX 随意造句
