THE MILLION-DOLLAR ANSWER

Mark Twain wrote, “Comedy is tragedy plus time.” When we discover how to shift our perspective, we see today’s events through the wiser, more balanced lens of tomorrow. Once we can recognize—in the moment—what 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 dissolve—not because we fight to control our emotions but, rather, because we see the situation for what it really is.
