So the question is, is it possible for you, for me, to be aware of the stuff that we don't like, that we're worried about, concerned about, angry about, and then saying, well, what's the other side of that? What are some of the good things that are happening, whether it's in my life or in the world right now? What are some of the things that are positive and constructive that I can focus on? And is it possible to hold both possibilities okay. At the same, but then choose to focus on what it is that I want that's going to move me forward and help me achieve what I want, versus all the negative which is there, that is not going to help me achieve what I want.
