There are a hundred interpretations to each event in your life. Choose the one that is the most useful to you. 

This frame should be consistent with your values, make you feel proud, and energize you. Look for metaphors to help you make sense of it. Practice it every day.

Thank you BJ Miller for this excellent phrase, “Exercise your human prerogative to choose the frame for yourself,” as well as Steve Jobs for the quote, “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.”
