“We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars.” Oscar Wilde
Suffering is not selective everyone experiences it at some point in their life. We get to choose our experience though. Even when things are at their bleakest we can choose to focus on something good. Often when things are at their worst people focus on negative thoughts that only make them feel worse. The trick is to find something positive, anything, and focus on that. The act of focusing on the positive will lift your mood and make everything seem a little brighter. This may just be enough to enable you to take the next step or it may pull you out of the gutter completely. Either way, it seems to be the right way to turn.
