Today has been a rough day. Feeling a little sick, over-stressed and over-scheduled. In my rush to the bathroom I picked up a book on our side table titled, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's all small stuff, by Richard Carlson, Ph.D. Here's the page it opened up to
Chapter 32.
Life Is a Test. It Is Only a Test.
When you look at life and its many challenges as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow, a chance to roll with the punches. Whether you're being bombarded with problems, responsibilities, even insurmountable hurdles, when looked at as a test, you always have a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you...
Of course it continues on with the kind of insight that I needed at the moment. This book has been a very interesting and valuable find. I think I got it from Freecycle. I highly recommend reading it. Thanks to whomever chose to part with this wisdom.
