I’m surfing Jonathan’s wave a lot today, and here’s a very good post on how to turn off the negative radio.
What I like the most about myself is that I’ve had several really harsh situations in my life and every single time I was strong and didn’t let them break me. You really never know what will come out when hardship hits. And what came out of the depths of me in these situations was good. That makes me proud.
Although, of course, I’d prefer never to have experienced any of them.

This is one of the most important traits to have. Because life will hit sooner or later and knowing how to navigate them without sinking is not something we are particularly trained for.
I am also very proud of coming out stronger of 2 bad life events. But boy were they miserable! When you are too long in survival mode it takes a while to realize that there is a normal mode to return to when it is over.
