Life is not all good or all bad. Those who disagree with us are not always wrong; we are not always right. Our collective stress is like a weight on our psyches, sending us to our corners, and we find ourselves rehearsing the same old story of grievance and limitation. But we have the power to flip the script. When you are feeling isolated, open yourself to others. When your anger wells up in your heart, practice forgiveness. When you find yourself steeped in disappointment or regret, practice gratitude. When you see someone in pain, comfort them.
