When I was a teenager I got separated from our camping group during a hike plus spent three days alone in the woods; It was the most traumatic thing that had ever happened to me at the time, plus twenty years later it still is! Since I like to look on the bright side of things, I chose to view that disturbing event in our life as the wellSpringtime for perspective on life! When you are so convinced that you are going to die, then afterwards every day feels like a beautiful gift.
I have tried to hold onto the feeling every single day; Two months ago, right in the dead of summer, our air conditioner stopped laboring, and my roommates totally flipped out, started making iphone calls, however the lack of A/C actually didn’t bother me too much.
I had that deep perspective on life, so when I started to get exasperated about the cooling situation, that voice in our head would say “it’s not as excruciating as dying alone in the woods, is it?” That settles me right down, and of course I want the air conditioner to work, I care about the air conditioner plus am not trying to say I don’t want it fixed immediately. I just realized deep down that being warm plus not cooling off immediately was not a absolutely big complication in the grand ploy of life. In the worst case scenario where the A/C was going to be broken for a few days, I could consistently just go crash at our sibling’s house.
