Finding a gem among the stones

Problems.

Criticism.

More problems.

The boss is not happy…

… neither your life partner.

The weather is awful and…

… let’s not even mention the road traffic!

Bad situations come to our lives, which can turn into a thorn in our existence and it is not easy to avoid it. But we can change the way to see these scenes.

First, let’s take a look into that idea of bad situations as thorns. We can remind ourselves that behind any thorn there is a beautiful rose waiting for us. It may be a difficulty or a small tragedy, but there is a rose in the form of a lesson, a change in the lifestyle or something even more valuable. Instead of focusing on the thorns, look for the rose!

Second possibility is to see circumstances as stones on the way: enough stones, your way will be well paved. Yes, it is bad, but it will pass and you will certainly grow due to this. Remember the paved road, instead of the stones.

And in relation to that, a few of the stones may be gems: because your boss is not happy with you, you find a better job or due to the intense traffic jam, you decide to go and live at a better place. Check the bad things in your life, because a few jewels are expecting to be collected.
