We have often heard the phrase ' Every coin has two sides to it.' Somewhere down the line we even accept and believe in it. But, I think we rarely are aware or even understand the true or real meaning.
When faced with a situation I forget the existence of this phrase. I spend days looking at only the one side and wear myself out. I have done it oh so often. It was only today when I was thinking about the ill effects a 'certain' phase was having on me and counting how happy I would be now that the phase was passing that suddenly out of the blue a good side of the period emerged. I had to literally stop myself from work and think about this sudden reversal of thoughts. Knowing how the mind functions, I went into analysis and validity of this optimistic image and had to tear it down to see if it were any good.
The result was that I became aware of the many positive effects this phase had on me. It made me aware of my qualities and emotions that I never knew existed, made me realise my capabilities, it made see a different side to life and people - In short it did bring out the best in me. The negative side was only pushing me deep into the tunnel. If not for today then, I would have never realised how sometimes even bad can be good and how it can help to grow as an individual.
