#5: Rainbow Connection
It would be nice if we lived in a world where we never had to experience anything bad—where there was no pain, no illness, no natural disasters, no unkindness. But unfortunately, that’s just not the case. So we have two options: one is that we can focus on all of the bad things that happen to us and spend our lives in a state of perpetual misery.
The other is to try to focus on the good things, not the bad. After all, you can’t have a rainbow without a rainstorm; you can’t build a snowman without enduring a snowstorm. And wouldn’t you rather have a life full of rainbows and snowmen, even if it means you also have storm clouds?
