Staying On The Happy Path

I have the good fortune to know a brilliant gentleman who teaches accurate thinking. James Critchfield, D.C. describes life as being on "the happy path" or falling off "the happy path." What a great way to talk about the choices we make. We choose to see things in a way that keeps us balanced or we choose to view life events in a way that upsets us in one way or another.
In The Science Of Getting Rich Wllace D. Wattles taught Universal laws, laws that exist and are applied whether we know about them, believe them or not. One of those laws is the Law of Polarity that states, in essence, if something is good it is also bad. I am now (wasn't always) a person who turns lemons into lemonade in more than just the culinary sense. I have lived many life threatening adventures that turned my world upside-down. While my friends and family saw the bad in those experiences I saw the good--how I grew and made my life more meaningful. I saw, in the process, if something is a little good then it is simultaneously a little bad and if something is a lot bad then it is also a lot good--all depends on how we choose to see it.
There is yet another consideration when evaluating life events (if we continue to judge them). If we never know sorrow how can we know joy? If we never know pain how can we know comfort? Polarities exist so we can experience life. How we experience life leads to our self esteem which dictates how we experience life. Hmm--a cycle we control.
