It’s very easy to get mesmerized by them, much like the flute player mesmerizes the cobra. So you must look away, even if for only a moment. Looking away will break the hold these feelings have on you and allow you to look for what else is available to you in this scenario. Even if a blessing or lesson is not readily apparent the fact that you expect it to show up and are ac- tively looking for it will make it appear. So open yourself up to the possibility

of this event being the turn in the road that will lead to your greater good. Maybe you are sick because you are going to meet a doctor you will eventually fall in love with and marry. Maybe you lost your job be- cause you were supposed to take the time off so you can now open your own busi- ness that you have always dreamed about. I don’t know what lessons or gifts will
emerge for you, but I do know you will find them if you look. They are there wait- ing for you to embrace them.
3. You Have Power Over Your Story How often have you retold the story of something bad that has happened to

you? Do you fall into the trap of retelling your wrongs: recounting what bad things happened and who did you wrong? I call this retelling photo talk. You take a moment in time and retell it like it was captured in a photograph. You have frozen it just as it was in the past, and as such you have frozen yourself in the past, unable to extract anything more from that picture than the details of the scene. I suggest you free yourself from the pain of keeping that moment locked up and Photoshop your story. Ask yourself questions that tell the rest of the story and integrate the answers. Questions like, “What good came of this event?”, or “What did I learn?”, or “What about that lead me to be here right now?” or even, “What part of that am I grateful for?”. When you ex- pend your version of the story you bring in the sweetness that transforms every- thing.
“In all my work, I try to say -

a dozen lemon meringue pies?'” ~ Maya Angelou
March joy-full lesson is discovering
the sweetness that is available in every situation, event, or person. Add it to your story and discover the joy of making lem- onade from your life’s lemons.
