You can list everything wrong in two seconds. Try naming three things that are actually working.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Problems come pre-sorted and easy to find, because your attention was built to hunt for what is broken. Anything that is working makes no noise at all, so it never gets counted, and the result is an inventory of your life made entirely out of faults. The picture is not accurate. It is just what the fast system produced.

Name three working things tonight and be specific rather than general. A class you understand, one friend who is solid, the fact that you got through a hard week. It takes a minute and it corrects a list that was never complete.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What is going right that you have not counted lately?
