In the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi, power has been out in some suburbs for 7-8 days. Further North, where it was worse, they have been told power could be out for over a month.
I have been reading on Facebook the comments from customers without power. They fall into two categories. One are saying, when are you putting my power back on, I should have it, why are you taking so long, I am suffering here. The other customers are saying, you are working hard, we appreciate your efforts, we are doing fine and enjoying the family time without power.
Yes, it is a shock not to have power at your fingertips but it is outside your control to get it back on. You have two choices, moan about it or make the most of it. I do understand it is not easy without power but surely when it gets back on you will appreciate it even more and maybe your life will change for the better by continuing to have more family time.
When life gives you circumstances that are out of your control, you also have two choices. You can moan about it and make yourself and everyone around you miserable. Or, you can see the silver lining, appreciate the opportunity to learn something new or just enjoy the new set of circumstances.
I guess what I am saying here is, your attitude makes the difference between enjoying something or being miserable. Isn't it much better to choose to enjoy the opportunities life presents you with?
