Through the looking glass...

I have been thinking this week about the many different ways that our own perception colors the way in which we approach life changing events.  For example, if you get laid off, you can see it as the end of life as you know it.  (Generally speaking, this would be my approach.)  Or, if you are one of those positive thinkers, you can see it as an opportunity to recreate yourself and find something more suited to your talents, abilities, interests.  (This is how I wish I saw things but probably never will, cynic that I am.)
