Frame situations in such a way that you're happy with whichever outcome eventuates. Simple example: Tomorrow's Saturday. If it's Sunny we can go on that family picnic we were talking about. If it's Rainy we can stay inside and watch that movie we've been wanting to watch. Positive outcome either way. More Complex example: Tomorrow I have an interview for a job that sounds great. If it goes well then I get the job. If it doesn't go so well it'll be great experience for the next interview. Positive outcome either way. Sometimes it can be a stretch to find the "silver lining" in a given situation but there's usually one there even if you can't see it at first.
