We must assume every event has significance and contains a message that pertains to our questions...this especially applies to what we used to call bad things...the challenge is to find the silver lining in every event, no matter how negative.

James Redfield
About This Quote

The problem with a negative outlook is that it only takes a horrible thing to happen to make you feel terrible. As a result, you give up hope and stop trying. But, the opposite is true too. We should never give up on our dreams because something bad has happened.

Instead, we should assume that every event holds significance and contains a message that pertains to our questions and beliefs. This especially applies to what we used to call “bad things”—the challenge is to find the silver lining in every event, no matter how negative.
