“Don’t just see the rainy day; take note also of the rainbow struggling to peek from behind the clouds.” ~KSJ
Today I was in a car accident. A man didn’t brake in time and hit my car from behind. It was early in the morning and a good bit of damage was done to my car. Usually I would be cranky- cursing, angry about it all. I certainly was, but it was different. No sooner than I could get angry, a feeling of overwhelming thankfulness that my children weren’t with me took over. And even as the day wore on, dealing with body shops, insurance companies, more body shops, more insurance companies…. even through all of this…. the voice inside that acknowledged the positives about the situation, the positives that outweighed all the negatives was loud and was crystal clear.
It’s not about permanently changing your personality or your hot headedness spunky qualities. It is more about recognizing what’s good in situations too and not letting these realizations pass you by. It’s changing your awareness to take note of all things, not just the drama and the negative… and you know what? I think it’s working!
