It's not what actually happens in the world, as much as our interpretation
of this.
If it rains - the holidaymaker may be dissapointed. The farmer may be delighted.
Same rain!
If you are chronically ill - you may feel deeply depressed. Or, perhaps, you may
see this as a 'reality check' and a golden opportunity to change some lifestyle
habits that, perhaps, may have contributed.
Same illness!
If you fail in a project or in personal finances - you may interpret this as
personal failure. Or you may see it as a blessing, one step nearer to success.
Same failure.
Everything can be seen as a blessing.
All events and circumstances can be seen as events and circumstances that
are good, or leading us to more good.
It's up to us. We have the choice. It's the same external physical state, but a
different internal state of mind. Which do you choose?
I prefer to take the choice to give thanks for the good in life, and to give thanks
for learning and experiencing how to take more personal responsibility to
change for the better.
This is so easy to say, and not always easy to do at all.
It means that we have to keep focused continually on the 'good in everything'
regardless of the current appearances and circumstances.
Sometimes that is so very hard.
But, having said that, I feel it's the right way!
Is this too harsh for those who are suffering?
Is this too ideal?
