Redefine to find blessings

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

It's easy to take some things for granted. When I was little, I just thought that everybody grew up in a family like mine. That everybody learned the same life lessons. As I grew up, I discovered that is not the case. One of the things that I learned growing up is that we can always redefine things in our lives. I learned that we have the power to make some things happen, but if something happens that we can't avoid, at least we can redefine it. If we tried out for something and didn't make it, at least we had the opportunity to try something new. If we played a game and lost, we had fun and learned how to play. I still redefine things in my life. It allows me to have a different perspective on circumstances that I can't avoid. It allows me to find the blessings in any situation.

Is there a circumstance in your life that you can redefine in order to see the blessing in it?
