How do you feel when you think about your:
  • Past mistakes
  • Failed business ventures
  • Grief
  • Relationships and friendships that ended
There are so many situations, whether it be meetings at work, holidays with family, and others where you can be tempted to "read into" a situation or what someone else is saying. Or you can think about things that have happened in your life and boil them down to a negative reason why things happened the way they did. I'll give you a personal example that I've never shared before to illustrate how I overcame this.
The meaning of anything you say, hear or experience is the meaning you give it. I hope you can apply this quick episode to your own life.
