However, I could go on to ask him: "Okay, when will you be ready?". Tomorrow, next week, 1 year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years?
I am not speaking of the possibility to change your thoughts. That is not a possibility. Changing thoughts is real. Changing a perception maybe only possible for some. Changing oneself may also only be a possibility for some.

It is much more involved than letting go or thinking positive.
