About This Quote
In this world, we have a tendency to focus on the negative parts of life. We think too much about being hurt and so we stay stuck in toxic relationships and dwelling on past regrets. We think that if we focus on the bad things, then things will change for the better. In reality though, the only thing that changes is our perspective.
When we look at bad things from a positive perspective, we begin to realize that these negative events are actually opportunities to grow. As one person said: “I used to think I had it bad, but now I realize I have it great.”
