Rosemund Stone Zander and her husband Ben Zander wrote a book called the Art of Possibilities and it has quite a few words of wisdom. Chapter 7 asks the reader to analyze their beliefs about life struggles big and small. They talk about getting weighed down while you focus on negative events that are an evident part of everyones life. I like how the Zander’s want you to clear your mind of any judgement about the things that happen to you. This reminds me of a fable that I often read to my children called Good Luck Bad Luck. In this story, a farmer’s lone horse runs away only to come home days later with four wild horses following close behind. The farmer’s son breaks his leg training one of the horses just before the army comes to recruit soldiers for a hopeless war. What seems to be bad luck at first, actually reveals itself as good luck later. The current economic situation in the State of Michigan has forced people in power to make some very unfavorable decisions. The Zander’s advice can help keep me from storming the capital building!
