In any given situation you have choices. You can choose to be the victim of the
situation, or you can choose to rise above it and make it a learning and
growing experience for yourself. Self-pity stops you cold, so decide that the
situation is your next best thing. Look for the positive aspects of it and act
on them.
I challenge you to truly and objectively look at your situation. Where and what
are the positive aspects of it? What of the negative aspects can you turn into
positive ones? How can you now benefit from this new viewpoint? If you look at
a seemingly “bad” situation as your “next best thing” you will find the “good”
in it for you.
Just as slow motion and stop action still photography gives you an opportunity
to reevaluate what you thought you saw, so does slowing down and honestly
analyze your situation. This reexamining will reveal secrets and clues within
the situation that you would otherwise miss. This allows you the opportunity to
see the true good in your situation, to change your perception of it and turn
it toward your benefit; to make it your next best thing.
So when you feel that your situation is beyond redemption, slow down, reexamine
and search out those hidden positives and turn a negative into your next best
thing and grow.
Bright Blessings, Chessie
