Words of Wisdom
Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” try to ask, “What can I learn from this?”
Replace the word problem with challenge. Problem suggests that what we’re facing has to be a downer, but it doesn’t. Life is about embracing challenges!
Avoid all-or-nothing thinking—thinking that something is either all good or all bad. Allow for choices, options, and compromise.
