Mark Twain wrote, âComedy is tragedy plus time.â When we discover how to shift our perspective, we see todayâs events through the wiser, more balanced lens of tomorrow. Once we can recognizeâin the momentâwhat really matters, we no longer need to force ourselves to remain calm. Our thoughts, feelings, and responses to any situation reshape themselves. Negative emotions like impatience, insecurity, and anger dissolveânot because we fight to control our emotions but, rather, because we see the situation for what it really is.
