"Discipline your mind to see the good in every situation and
look on the best side of every event."
Roy T. Bennett
"To see the good in every situation and look on the best side of every event," (Roy Bennett) at one time sounded too much like a pollyanna. Life was hard and maintaining a positive attitude in the worst of times was not possible for me.
Once my perception of the challenges in life shifted from something happening to me towards life providing a lesson, I was able to look for the good. I went from a troubled victim to an eager student embracing and learning from whatever came before me.
Lessons have the tendency to repeat themselves, so often I find my lovely self stepping back and thinking, "This is a pattern repeating itself." I now understand that a challenge can reappear to learn a lesson on a deeper level. The more in depth we are able to understand, the faster and farther one can go.
