I too admire other people who get through adversities and come back strong. They are such wonderful inspirations for me. It's almost like seeing that other people can do it.... it CAN be done, makes me more confident that maybe I can too.
I don't think my life has had more adversity than average, but still, we all have to deal with some.
I think I use to handle it fairly good, being presented with the issue/situation, however it presents it's self, a moment of turmoil and surprise or regret or.... and then the acceptance and figuring out what needs to be done... if anything can be done and either doing it or accepting nothing will change it and carrying on.
As I've gotten older, sometimes it feels like too much. Without purposefully doing it, I have created a mental safe haven, a step out of reality. I retreat to it where I can feel safe and happy.
Yes.. .I still have to handle what needs to be handled, but I have to break it off in small pieces to resolve.
I think this is something that usually only comes with
ageexperience and it's those that find it, that place, that tend to deal with adversity much better than others. The adversity seems less tumultuous, less impactful through a persons ability to deal with it, or find a gap from it to better deal with it moving forward.
