I laughed when I read “Inverse Paranoid!” I like the concept that the world is conspiring for me not against me! I feel like I blinked through this chapter because being so optimistic and positive is just my nature. I am always looking for the gift in the situation, the lesson in the failure. Hindsight always gives me enough “Aaah, so that’s why it had to happen!” moments that I just trust the process and flow through the yuckies faster. Releasing control and allow something to leave your life, opens space for something better to come in. Does it sound too easy? Well..it kind of is that easy. Too often we get consumed of what happened, negatively, that we forget to look at the why.
When faced with a less than favorable situation ask yourself these questions and you might find a new new perspective:
What is the gift?
Where is the opportunity?
What can I gain?
How can I flip this to my benefit?
