A Lion Doesn't Have to Say He's a Lion

What all adverse experiences have in common is the opportunity, the CUE that you wanted change.  You didn't like something in your life and you wanted change, whether you were ready for it or not.  The event allows you to select and create something new, or decide to go back and stay the same.  If you complain, you are suggesting that you want change.  Be ready for that change opportunity.
