An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas...
To recognize the silver lining in a situation does not mean to be a Pollyanna – we need to see things realistically, to look at a situation square on – especially one that seems negative.
The silver linings are almost always there, but when we try to ‘override’ the negative they can stay hidden.
So:
First call it like it is!
“This sucks!”
“I hate it!”
“I can’t stand it!”
“I want to kill…”
You get the idea – If you want to rant and rave, go for it – just be respectful of your neighbors!
Second: Ask yourself if there could possibly be a hidden message. What can you learn from this position?
(Remember Mary from yesterday’s post? Her message was: time to quit!
You might have to probe a little but with perseverance and smarts you’ll find it.
Malcolm Forbes said: “Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs.”
Ask yourself if you’re still ‘becoming’, evolving in the situation. Does it still have juice for you or have you already reached the diamond stage and it’s time to move on?
Third: Go for it! Life is short. Pay attention to what it’s telling you!
