Throughout your life, you’re going to encounter many ordeals and possibly some of them are there to test your skills. Skills of attitude and perception.

So, today’s quote is from Khalil Gibran. “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”

Attitude and perception. So, years ago I was a film producer and on any given day I remember this: I would come into the office and I would be like “I’m done with this script that we’re working on. It’s not working. I don’t want to pitch it anymore.”

I would say that to my partner and he’d go “Really? Well, here’s how I look at it” and he would begin to speak to me about an entirely different point of view that I hadn’t even thought of. By the time he was finished, I went “You’re right! That sounds fantastic. Let’s get going on it!”

I actually got so enthused by it! He completely turned me around. So, imagine if we could do that with every obstacle that appears. Is there another way to look at it? What is our attitude? How are we perceiving it?

This is a great skill to have. So, enjoy your day and look at where you can use this in your life, too.
