How do you react when things don’t go your way? Do you, like me, get frustrated and angry, or do you accept the situation and look for the silver lining? In his book Think Like A Monk, Jay Shetty offers a different perspective on how to deal with challenges and setbacks. 

“Don’t judge the moment. As soon as you label something as bad, your mind starts to believe it. 

Instead, be grateful for setbacks. Allow the journey of life to progress at its own pace 

and in its own roundabout way. The universe may have other plans in store for you.” 

Jay Shetty
