I agree and believe that it's one of the key steps towards personal success. When we start perceiving challenges as opportunities, the reality outside becomes more welcoming. Your article is appealing and the picture is funny indeed. Hi Jonathan, just stumbled upon this your post. I agree and believe that it’s one of the key steps towards personal success.

This is a wonderful concept to bring to light. It reminds me of a story in a book called "Zen Shorts" that I bought for my kids. The story is about a farmer whose horse ran away and people said "such bad luck!" The farmer said "maybe." Then the horse returned the next day bringing with it two other wild horses and the people said "such good luck!" The farmer said "maybe." The farmer's son then tried to tame one of the horses and was thrown off and broke his leg. The people said "such bad luck!" The farmer said "maybe." The next day the military officials came to the village to draft young men. His son could not go because his leg was broken. The people said "such good luck!" The farmer replied "maybe." ~ Life is just a series of events, it is only our perception that makes these events "good" or "bad." Great post!

Is it just me, or are their others out there that know you must be talking about them? I am making lemonade as we speak and going to set up my stand on the corner. Peace ‘You talkin’ ta me’?
