Have you noticed how different people who view the same incident can have different conclusions

of what happened? Has your environment slanted you thinking? Have your experiences clouded your thoughts of good and bad? What causes us to have varying opinions of events? What can we do to remain focused and positive in our conclusions? I'm reminded of the airplane passenger waiting for takeoff. Looking to the left side of the plane he saw a beautiful sunset. Looking to the right side he saw dark and threatening clouds. No matter the sky his flight was still bound for a particular destination. Our lives are similar to the view of that passenger. We are heading on our destination knowing there will also be some happy , beautiful times, but there will also be some dark shadows along life's pathway. We cannot have total control over the situatiions we may find ourselves in but we can choose to enjoy the good times and remain hopeful in the bad ones. We can choose to look at the dark clouds or the beautiful sunset.
