jcmor83- Gen-Xer: Fall leaves in the yard. Yuck!! Whether blowing or raking leaves on a fine fall day, my mind always drifts towards the thoughts of how I could be better spending my time! “Why oh why you *** trees!? Why did you “leave” me like this?!! Then of course, reality set back in. Trees can be beautiful, and they provide so much good to our environment, but they also shed those leaves and, in my yard, many of them. The good that they provide is the most impactful and most defining thing.
Life is about managing thru the good and the bad. The trick is to never allow the bad to make you lose sight of the good. Never allow the bad to dominate. Its impact may seem greater at first, but below the surface the good and positive is the thing with the lasting impact.
From your experiences what methods do you use to empower yourself to see things properly and take the bad with the good or vice versa?
