This is a beautiful story Eren, so so true, we jump to assume the worst in an instance and this is a perfect example of that.

Looking back and thinking about my current life, definitely very very grateful but yes in those moments..just like the rabbit I have panicked too.

Reading and connecting with others really gives us some perspective, helps us zoom out.

Thank you for sharing 😊

Simple and powerful. Problems will always be with us, each replacing a resolved issue. We just need to learn how to handle them without loosing control. Perception is everything. Thank you.

I’m really happy to hear that Ege. To be honest when I write these articles it makes the idea clearer for me too.

Teşekkür ederim :)

Great post Eren.

I like what you said about life not being about having no problems but being able to handle a lot of them and stay positive. I think it's an important reminder that we will have problems regardless, and the best thing we can do is make the best of any situation.

It all begins in our minds!

that’s it bro. that’s exactly the message I was trying to get across.

it’s so easy to feel like others have it better. but it’s a useless and likely false assumption.

What a beautifully written essay. Thank you. It's thoughtful and hope-giving, showing how we often blow small things out of proportion while failing to notice all the good that's within our reach. Excellent work!

the way i see it, building the "meta-skill" of having a solution mindset is like working on thousands of skills at once :) that's why it's so important
