— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)

In the book

Some things, sadly, we are unable to appreciate at all until we have lost them — so the discipline is to notice them now, while they are still in your hands. There is a simple trick to it: the moment an anxious or bitter thought seizes the controls, turn your attention deliberately to one thing you are grateful for, and you will find you cannot hold both at once. Stuck in traffic and tightening with frustration, think of the friend who would give anything to be where you are. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
