“If you are faced with an unpleasant person or situation that you can do nothing about, bless the situation. Bless the person and know and believe some good will come from it.

All of us have seen good come out of disaster…the ‘blessing in disguise.’

When you expect good to come from negativity, it will. What you think about, you bring about.” – Joyce Duco

I was watching a documentary recently, in which actor, George Takei offered without hesitation, “I, in my own life, am the recipient of optimistic thinking.”

In looking back through my own life I find, countless instances in which a perceived misfortune turned out to be my greatest blessing. As if the experience was its own catalyst.

And yet, how easily we lose sight in the ‘thick of the moment’; far too impatient to let the blessings unfold.

Until one day, when we realize – that within each moment, there is a gift.

So, the question then becomes – are you willing to wait for the blessing?
