Truth #5: When something bad happens you have three choices: You can let it define you. You can let it destroy you. You can let it strengthen you. I encourage each of you to reflect on your life and look at those dark times. What did they do for you? Or what did you do with the dark times? Do you wear those times like a badge? Did those times cripple you? Or have those times taught you to be a better person so you can reach out and help others going through similiar times?
Question: “Do you wear those times like a badge? Did those times cripple you? Or have those times taught you to be a better person so you can reach out and help others going through similar times?”
ReplyDeleteAnswer: All of the above.
It looks like you've grown through your pain and have earned the right to wear those hard times proudly like a badge if you chose to do so. I hope you keep your badge well polished! :)
DeleteAll of the above. I hope I limp along kindly. And need no badges.
ReplyDeleteI think I have merit badges in many categories! lol
DeleteOr work on a plan to even the score. That will keep you busy for a while.
ReplyDeleteThat might work!
DeleteFirst off I love the meme. Made me LOL. I wish I would have done better in my dark times as it took me a long time to get to a place when they didn't define me and strengthened me. Good hearing from you and take care.
ReplyDeleteLOL is always a good thing. Good hearing from you as well.
DeleteDid my comment go through? I think I had a glitch in the matrix and didn't hit publish. Or maybe I did. Anyway, I love the meme. It made me LOL. And it took me a long time and a lot of growing up to not be defined by dark times and moments. I am at a place now where I can deal with them and they make me stronger. Good hearing from you and take care.
ReplyDeleteIt went through...just had to approve it.
DeleteFor most of us, including me, it's probably a mixed bag. Some things break us in some place or other (sometimes hidden), some make us stronger.
ReplyDeleteA little of this and a alittle of that makes the world go round!
