So I'll pass on part of my morning meditation.

In any events, however seemingly dire, there is nothing to prevent us from searching for its hidden opportunity. It is a failure of the imagination not to do so. But to seek out the opportunity in situations requires a great deal of courage, for most people around you will persist in interpreting events in the grossest terms: success or failure, good or bad, right or wrong. These simplistic, polarized categories obscure more creative--and useful--interpretations of events that are far more advantageous and interesting!

The wise person knows it is fruitless to project hopes and dears on the future. This only leads to forming melodramatic representations in your mind and wasting time. --Epictetus, The Art of Living
