Seeing the Best in Things

1. 

   "We do not see things as they are.  We see them as we are." The Talmud
   
   

   We read various forms of the above opinion in numerous places.  Where some people see danger; others see possibility.  Where some see challenges; others see opportunities.  Can it be possible that we see the very same situations differently based on our own mindset?   Yes, I think we do.  I was recently with someone who managed to look for the remotest possible gloom or downfall in any given situation -- almost entirely unfounded.  We have all heard the adage:  do you see the glass half full or half empty?  It is our choice how we see things.
