When disaster strikes, as devastating as it is, it can also provide an opportunity for us to see our own lives more clearly, and to focus on others who are in the greatest need.

Perspective during and after a break-up is sometimes difficult to achieve, and it can take several years to gain insight and acceptance. 

The immediate knowledge that others are suffering in tangible, horrific, and urgent circumstances, such as those in the Haiti earthquake, can be the catalyst needed to grieve ones own losses while reaching out to the afflicted.

Counting our blessings in life, no matter how small these may appear,  in light of the reality that time on earth is fleeting, and the suffering of some is incomprehensible, can motivate an individual to take a personal inventory and to alter ones thinking to an attitude of gratitude. 

When this perspective is gained, healing is inevitable.
