It's during these valleys in our lives that growth truly occurs. There’s a reason that plants don’t grow on mountain tops and only grow in the valleys.

Now, I really enjoy taking public transportation because it's much more relaxing and I can read while commuting to and from work. Whenever something happens that pisses me off I usually try to remind myself that it's really not that bad and that a lot of worse things could have happened. Looking at the positives is key.

Always have to enjoy your life. I had a job loss myself and was devastated at first, but realized I couldn't stand the job, but it did help lead me to my next job which I like more. Always have to look at the positives, life's too short. Always need to look for the upside in situations and put a positive spin on it, or else you’ll grow crazy and become depressed.

Have you read "Man's Search for Meaning"? It's a great example of this kind of "turning a bad into a good." Great book too.
