"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."
-Abraham Lincoln
I've always tried to see both sides. Often my temper or ego has gotten in the way but I try and make an effort to understand the other side of the story. Look at a situation from a different angle. Of course it's much easier when I'm not one of the involved parties. It's hard to be unbiased when you're in the middle of a particular situation. Today I pulled myself out of a situation, kept my cool, and decided not to let the situation control me. I took a new perspective and that was a blessing. I realized it simply wasn't worth it for me to react negatively to negativity, I just let it roll off my back. As a result, the day turned out a lot different than it would have if I stuck with my original perspective, and I was a more positive person for it!
