Absolutely Always in Your Favour
Every time you experience a setback, you have the choice to view it as a tragic situation or an empowering one. I know that there are countless quotes and philosophies about this and that may be getting boring for you to hear if you have read or heard them often enough, but know this:
This may be an over-used term, blurted out by corporate managers who heard it in a management training course, but whether they truly live by that philosophy or not, it holds the truth. That’s why it’s a cliche, because it has been repeated so many times due to it’s truth.
It may not seem like getting sick, losing a loved one, losing your job or house etc. is very much in your favour, but again this comes down to attitude. Your view of things have more determination over what appears in your world than anything else, so if you choose to (annoying I know) be positive about any situation then you will find joy on the other side of it and much more quickly than if you allowed yourself to be consumed by it.
This is more than just `Looking on the bright side’. It is exercising intent, accepting that you have something to learn and that once you do you will be more ready for your intention to be realized.
It has nothing to do with not caring. Of course, if you lose a loved one then you must grieve, but wouldn’t it be better to remember everything you loved about that person and celebrate it? Again, like most other things it comes down to whether you choose to focus on what you have rather than what you don’t have.
