two sides to every challenge

There are two sides to every challenge. 

Side one: this stinks!
Side two: this is a learning opportunity. 

Side one: this is hopelessly confusing.
Side two: I bet I can find a way forward. 

Side one: this will drain me. 
Side two: I will emerge from this stronger and more capable. 

Which side do you think fares better in the end?

Perspective matters.
