Do you see challenges or opportunities?

"Life isn't the way it's meant to be - it is the way it is. The way we cope with it makes the difference." - Virginia Satir

If we expect life to be different from how it is, then we are going to be disappointed! As Virginia Satir says, it is the way it is. What we can change, however, is the way we think and feel about it. If we expect life to be exactly as it is then our expectations will be fulfilled and we can focus, instead, on the challenges and opportunities that life brings us - and perhaps even recognise that sometimes the challenges are also opportunities.
