“Most people know that when we are faced with an immediate perceived “threat,” adrenaline kicks in and we experience the “fight or flight syndrome”. Well, the brain also works the same at higher levels of processing. When we perceive a “crisis”, even if we have time to think about it, our brain will perceive it as a “danger” or as an “opportunity”. And… we will act accordingly. And… we will have an outcome based on that perception- danger or opportunity. I try to choose “opportunity” every time.”

“every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing.for when you turn a negative into a positive,you gain twice. you are no longer burdened with the negative situation and in addition to that, you are strengthened by a new positive force.”
