Welcome problems as perspective-lifters. My children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacle that stymies them.

If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from my perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward me, and see the light of my presence shining upon you.

把問題當成視角提升者。我的孩子們往往會在他們的日常生活中夢遊，直到他們碰到一個阻礙了他們的問題。

如果你遇到了一個沒有立即解決方案的問題，你對這種情況的回應將使你上升或下降。你可以對困難大發雷霆，對它怨恨，並為自己感到難過。這將把你帶入一個自憐的深淵中。另外，問題也可以是一架梯子，讓你能夠爬上去，從我的角度看到你的生活。從上麵看，讓你沮喪的障礙隻是一個輕微和短暫的問題。一旦你的視角被提高，你可以完全把目光從問題上移開。轉向我，看到我同在的光芒照耀著你。
