"Mind over matter" is not the same as 无为. 无为 means to not give things the order of importance that the ego thinks they should have. When you stop doing that life becomes ridiculously simple.

I can't do it, either. Wu wei 无为 is not easy. Neither is Buddhist "non-attachment". When life gives you lemons - make lemonade. I'm too fond of my own ego and my own interests....

Thats my motto! However, like you just said: Sometimes emotions & feelings jump in the middle and that messes everything up. LoL. But overal i agree. When your attitude is right, the facts dont matter!!

It means that if you've set your mind over something.. everything else follows. Our mind is very powerful that whatever we conceive, we eventually achieve. It's about attracting positive vibes that no matter how weak our body may seem or no matter how hopeless the situation may be.. if you just believe and focus on your goal.. you will eventually achieve it.. remember, nothing is impossible!! =)
