Looking at the positive

I'm reading a great book at the moment called: Secrets and Mysteries: The Glory and Pleasure of Being a Woman by Denise Linn. It really is such a special book. One of those books crammed with gems and really helpful stuff where just reading it makes one feel empowered, loving and peaceful.

Anyway, in the book, I discovered the most wonderful revelation the other day. She says, when all seems lost and hopeless, it is our attitude to a situation that can turn it around for us. She says, ask yourself this one question and see how the energy changes.

The question is: What is good about this situation?

How simple is that, but incredibly, it changes everything. In the darkest moment, in the grimmest of settings, it is I believe possible to find something good. Even if it is something tiny, it gives us hope to carry on.

Like in the movie Life Is Beautiful. Being in a concentration camp must have been unfathomably awful, but the Dad managed to make it into a game. He created beauty in one of the darkest places imaginable. Really such a wonderful movie.

Luckily for most of us, the things we get caught up in are not so horrendous even if they feel like it sometimes.

So today, I want to make this my mantra. What is good about this situation? The tricky bit is
remembering to ask yourself this in your darkest hour.

Maybe we can ask each other and remind ourselves that there might be another way of looking at a situation?

Thanks to Denise for coming upon this and sharing it.

Here's to your own peace and positivity.
