Most anything that happens can be useful to you, or it can set you back,depending primarily on what you make of it.
Get into the habit of asking yourself "how can I make the best of this?"For example, a couple of hours ago I jumped into my car to make a10-minute run to the post office. Along the way, a 2-inch bolt becameimbedded in my right front tire. Now I'm sitting in the waiting room ofa tire dealer, getting the damage repaired.
I could have spent a few hours fretting about the loss of my time, andhow unfair it was. And I must admit, I did spend a few minutes in thatmode. But then I asked myself, "how can I make the best of this?" Theanswer
get out a pen and paper and write this message.
The various circumstances in which you find yourself can serve asexcuses, or they can be turned into opportunities. What's great aboutthe time and place in which you find yourself? Whatever you make of it.
