Welcome problems as perspective-lifters. My children tend to sleepwalk through their days until they bump into an obstacle that stymies them.

If you encounter a problem with no immediate solution, your response to that situation will take you either up or down. You can lash out at the difficulty, resenting it and feeling sorry for yourself. This will take you down into a pit of self-pity. Alternatively, the problem can be a ladder, enabling you to climb up and see your life from my perspective. Viewed from above, the obstacle that frustrated you is only a light and momentary trouble. Once your perspective has been heightened, you can look away from the problem altogether. Turn toward me, and see the light of my presence shining upon you.

把问题当成视角提升者。我的孩子们往往会在他们的日常生活中梦游，直到他们碰到一个阻碍了他们的问题。

如果你遇到了一个没有立即解决方案的问题，你对这种情况的回应将使你上升或下降。你可以对困难大发雷霆，对它怨恨，并为自己感到难过。这将把你带入一个自怜的深渊中。另外，问题也可以是一架梯子，让你能够爬上去，从我的角度看到你的生活。从上面看，让你沮丧的障碍只是一个轻微和短暂的问题。一旦你的视角被提高，你可以完全把目光从问题上移开。转向我，看到我同在的光芒照耀着你。
