A follower of Tao would recognize that phrase as being an exclamatory statement of a principle from the Tao Te Ching.
We can make the negative events be our teachers. They can be turned into positives, when we ask ourselves, "what is it that I am to be learning from this unpleasant situation?"
Walking in Tao is a deliberate way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in our everyday life. The result from such deliberations? Happy serenity! This is a deep, satisfying celebration within us as we successfully learn that which was meant to instruct us.
Taoist understanding changes what others may perceive as negatives to having them transform into positive changes for us as we grow in our spirituality.
Slowly learning to switch my thinking,
