Changing the way you look at things

When he found himself residing in a homeless shelter, Rocky found a way to make this fact more acceptable. He imagined himself as a monk, stripped of his worldly possessions, living in a monastery. It was not easy adjusting to this way of life but his fellow "monks" consoled him and warmly welcomed him in. Eventually he had to move on; nevertheless,  Rocky still carries in his heart memories of the kindness and warmth of the "monks".
