Just a quick and fast blog on my phone (kind of as a tester for this new app)
It is never the event or trauma that determines our life...it is the way we cope with it that does.
Think of those times when you are cooking or munching on something absolutely awesome...suddenly because of some random distraction...you drop that piece of food. what happens?
"5 second rule!"
You then grab at the food, eat it, place it back on the plate, lick it clean...blah blah blah. The same person could easily pick up that piece of food and toss it into the waste basket.
This is a crude metaphor for our ability to find the positive in things and different ways that we can cope. Although we can never alter the events that occur in our lives, we can change our attitude about them.
Again, when we are unable to change our situation...we are challenged to change ourselves...We can change the way that we react to the unchangeable and difficult events...when crap happens...find your 5 second rule.
