Charles R. Swindoll once said, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it."

Does that mean that by changing our reactions to the things that happen to us we can change our lives?

YES! This fact has been proven time and time again. The mind is a powerful thing; it can turn around disease and get one through seemingly impossible situations.
