RE: Rainbows, butterflies and compromise

I've had some of the most terrible things occur

In my life, once I've had enough time to process what went wrong I ended up realizing that things were actually better after the terrible things happened and obviously I am not talking about injury or death of a loved one or pet but just for 3 examples: A harsh breakup, losing a job, and also having valuable staff members quit. At the end of all 3 of these major milestones in my life I found out that I was better off on the other side even though they were all very difficult to deal with at the time.

but before I hijack your story yes, life is a compromise and I think that is true for almost anyone.

Sort:  

All sorts of things influence a person one way or another, positively and negatively; I think the trick is to accept that whatever the thing was happened and then to determine how best to react.

In your cases, you emerged out the other side intact and those things (the lessons learned) probably helped you thrive moving forward. Isn't it cool when something positive comes out of a negative? Of course, some of those happenings can be tragic, soul-destroying, things...but even then there's benefits to be found (mostly).
