If the shoe fits then wear it

You never truly know what someone is going through unless you walk a mile in their shoes. Even then you would have no idea all of the circumstances they have to face. You may think you know everything about them including their shoes size. But they are who they are because of a lifetime of reasons. Even your siblings that grew up together don't have a clue to how the other ones feel. Ten people can experience the same exact thing yet they all describe experiencing something different. Their point of view is the only thing they saw. Like the fortune cookie I got said, "Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing." Your thoughts determine your reality. Peter Pan learned that he could only fly if he thought of happy thoughts. When you are with someone facing a negative situation make sure you help them see a positive part of it so they are more likely to have a positive outcome. You can only find what you are looking for. Remember anyone can make a mountain out of a mole hill if they keep adding dirt.
