Reality rarely arrives with labels; interpretation does most of the naming.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Events do not come pre-labeled as good, bad, unfair, or lucky. Those categories are added afterwards, by you, usually within seconds, and then remembered as though they came attached. Recognizing that the naming is yours is what makes it possible to name differently.

With something that happened recently, separate the event from what you called it. Ask whether another name would fit the same facts. You are not distorting anything, just noticing who did the labeling.
