How you look at the world makes an enormous difference. Events happen in a moment, but the reaction to those events lasts longer. When we get locked in to our reactions we miss the unseen benefits. Friday, we had a Nor’easter (a storm with fierce winds that hits the East Coast of the US). The winds caused a lot of damage as did coastal flooding. While many people focused on the damage, I was in awe of nature’s ability clear away the old to make room for new growth.
Wow. Your perspective on the storm is one that very people hold. It is such ability to shift your focus towards beauty rather than distruction that can make the world a much more positive and enjoyable place to live.
