> [!waypoints] [[31 Wishes List]] # May you find the silver lining in every cloud Updated: 28 May 2026 Published: 20 May 2025 Tags: #positivity, #mindset No matter how dark some days get, I hope that you'll look for and find the positives. After all, the sun is still shines behind every cloud. You are still YOU, despite the dark times you're going through. A question that might help bring some positives to light is: What opportunities exist for me because of my chronic condition? Your answers might take some time to appear. Keep asking yourself. Be patient for your answers. In the meantime, here are some possible opportunities: - To slow down and reconnect with yourself & the people closest to you - More time to reflect on your values and life purpose - An excuse to reset your life And I'm sure there'd be many smaller positives too, such as: - Plenty of time to go through your "to read" list - Opportunity to binge your favourite shows (I hope there are some comedies in that list!) - Learning to appreciate [[31Wishes-SmallestWins|the small wins]] - No choice but to [[Rest|rest]] more often Looking for the silver lining in every cloud will increase your chances of finding it.
