For our problems to feel controllable, we need to be able to look at them from a distance, from a different angle and in a way that reveals any positive aspects to our problem. What opportunities does our problem provide for us?
The Dalai Lama makes the point that once we identify any positive angles to our problem we need to repeatedly remind ourselves of these if we are to bring about a change of attitude. The long-term goal is to train our minds to be flexible and supple so that we can maintain our composure even in the most restless and turbulent conditions.
