219: Things Happen FOR you, not TO You

“Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don’t have to like it…. It’s just easier if you do.” Bryon Katie

High Performers see obstacles and difficulties as happening for them not too them. They blame appropriately, not denying that is it difficulty, but use their cognitive appraisal to see the good that can come from everything.

Power Phrase This Week: 

“I see difficulties as happening for me not to me. I see the gift in the difficulty.”
