"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do." (Pope St. John XIII) Basically, what he is saying is focus not on the negatives of life but on the positives. How often we let our life be determined by fears, frustrations, and failures. These drain us and leave us in a state of hopelessness. But if we would change our focus to their opposites, then in time we will be able to realize that the sky is beautifully blue rather than to look at the mud and slush on the ground of life.
