The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant
things as interruptions of one's "own," or "real" life. The truth is
of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's
real life—the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one's
"real life" is a phantom of one's own imagination. This at least is
what I see at moments of insight: but it's hard to remember it all the
time.
-C.S. Lewis
