Keeping it all in perspective

Just came across this comment in a posting by Pete Scazzero, author of "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality."

Things are not as they appear. So often what looks like a blessing is not. What looks terrible in the short run is, very often, a rich gift. When you think you are going forward, you may be actually going backwards. What appears as success, oftentimes ends up being a failure and setback. Failures will teach you much more than success every time.

I know this sounds very much like my life experience. But what do you think?
