I recently took a week off work. The first day off, my nose started running. I got sick. The rest of the week involved me staying in my home, recovering. There are at least two competing truths here:

One truth involves me being upset that I didn’t get to do much I wanted to.

Another truth involves me being grateful that I got to recover without the stresses of work. I wouldn’t have preferred to get sick, however it turned out to be a really relaxing and restful week.

I had a choice to make, and asked myself, “Which thoughts would you feed?”

We make these choices every day. Which truths will you choose?
