Advantage principle

One of the forty concepts of the practice.

The advantage principle asks, in any unpleasant situation: what is the advantage in this? The question instantly shifts you to a more favourable film reel. It is not denial — it is a deliberate jump between sectors using a different interpretation.

Apply today

Take one annoyance today and answer aloud or in writing: what is the hidden advantage in this? Accept the answer without protest.

Common pitfall

Forcing a cheerful spin you don't believe. The jump works only when the advantage you find is one you can genuinely own.
