A well-known quote by the Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius.
And I’m inclined to agree: all of life can be viewed through multiple perspectives, of which some are more positive than others.
What has helped me is to frame what happens to me as part of a larger story, one that has its ups and downs.
And the audience, looking for entertainment and meaning, wants to see their beloved characters triumph.
In times of trouble, I think of the audience.
