Week 3 Reading

Roz’s ski story is great example of making the best of a situation. Our perceptions many times control our level of tolerance and happiness. Many times in life we are faced with situations where things turn out different than what we originally planned. The severity of a situation affects one person different than another. So a breakup with a loved one can be just as devastating as a death of a loved one depending on the person. Realistically some one dying is not in the same ballpark as a break up, but the perception sometimes is worse than the reality. A sudden tragic death of a young person versus a drawn out death of an elderly person is still death, but the perception changes the reality.
