About This Quote
This quote is a powerful reminder that life is full of ups and downs. However, it also teaches us to keep our eyes on the prize. If you are sitting at home with your head in your hands, thinking about how awful your life really is, you’re missing out on all of the good things that you have in your life. What we see and what we don’t see really has little to do with what’s happening to us and more to do with how we interpret our experiences.
For example, if you just bought a new car, you might take that as a sign that all is well in your world. But if someone close to you was recently diagnosed with cancer, it might be easier for you to take that as a sign of how unwell he or she really is rather than take it as a sign of the health of your own body.
