I like and agree with the three keys you have talked about. The hardest for me is often being optimistic as quickly as I should be after a setback. I've found that stepping back or away from the situation usually helps me to get there more quickly. The other point I'd make is that all three keys go hand in hand and if one is absent then there will be problem Simon Great post Peter, thanks.

Telling myself things always happen for a reason always works for me - I can always see why things have not gone well or as planned if I am brutally honest! (eg, as a trivial example, I had a holiday in Bali once and it poured raining the whole time - but I spent the whole time sitting in cafes and met lots of people I wouldn't have met otherwise!)

When things happen that seem outside our control, it's pointless letting them upset us - they may be in our circle of concern, but they are outside our circle of influence. Interestingly, by focusing our energies within the circle of concern, we are able to expand it and control our experience more and more.

I really like your point about needing to be reminded - I think we all do really. That's one of the reasons why I love having this blog - each of my articles is a little reminder of something I have learned. Glad you enjoyed it Beth.
