And time
With a change of perspective, and a bit of time, even the worst news can be spun to work in your favour. Some of the worst things to have happened to me have been a catalyst for so much more. “Bad” things can be a strong motivation to do things before it’s too late. The sheer audacity of them happening to you can give you incentive to do things you otherwise wouldn’t. In these cases, “bad” things can be turned into good. It’s just a matter of perspective.
