space within which all your experience occurs.
6. Notice that this space has certain qualities...
in solving a particular pro blem. For example, if you’re struggling with stress, consider the perspective of someone you may know (or imagine) who always seems to be peaceful or balanced. Imagine you could see your challenges through their eyes. How might they view this challenge differently than you? The second way is all about you. The deeper You. What you might call your True Self.

I've also been picked on as a kid, declared bankruptcy and been divorced. You can never tell which life experiences will produce the greatest gifts unless you stay in the game.
