See the Benefit

What if, every time something lousy happened to us, we saw it as a gift?
What if, instead of griping about our tough luck, we marveled at the opportunity to learn?
What if, instead of classifying our experiences into 'good' and 'bad', we simply enjoyed the ride?
Outcomes matter, of course. Learn to be more accepting of all outcomes doesn't mean we want bad things to happen.
It just means we're not afraid of them happening. And that perspective is incredibly liberating.
