We have discovered a great truth when we realize that it is our reactions to life events that ultimately determine our feelings. I’ve learned not to be too quick to jump to conclusions about whether something that happens is “good” or “bad”. Some of the circumstances that I have found myself in that I originally labelled as bad have turned out to be incredible opportunities for growth and happiness. We need to learn to reframe situations to see the opportunity in everything that happens. There is always a positive element to every situation and event.
