🔥They say that the best blaze burns brightest when circumstances are at their worst. 🔥- Howl’s Moving Castle Chanced into this when helping my kid to pick his favourite quote for his book review. Think it’s a good encouragement to all who might be going through difficult circumstances now. 🔥To look on the bright side (pun intended), it’s only during tough times when we are going through the crucible where we get a chance to test our mettle and shine bright.

Going to a theme park on a rainy day - quite a dampener, literally. Not all rides were open and we had to carry umbrellas all the time.  But the silver lining was that it wasn’t so crowded despite it being a Saturday. And we managed to do most of the rides that we wanted. In fact, the light drizzle made it rather cooling and much easier to conquer a theme park with many slopes as compared to doing so in hot and humid weather.  Hence, I think there’s always a silver lining somewhere, if we look hard enough. And this cognitive reframing (i.e. changing our perspectives) can help us deal with life’s disappointments and challenges.  #perspective  #reframing #positivethinking #personaldevelopment #jenelim

The much anticipated day started pretty rocky. 😴 I didn’t get any sleep on the plane (crying kid). ⏰ There’s delay in the pickup. ☔️ The weather was gloomy and expected to continue throughout the trip. 🚨Some urgent work stuff from regulator came in. But there’s always a silver lining if we look hard!  ✅ We landed safely.  ✅ We still squeezed in some fun activities.  ✅ My kid loved the rain as it’s hazy and cooling (versus hot Singapore) and it’s fun to wrestle the umbrella against the wind. ✅ I have a good and reliable tech team who’s working on the tasks right now. Thanks Eunice and Sze Seng!  TGIF everyone. #work #life #balance #mindset #personaldevelopment #jenelim
