Hard things are good for you

This is a shift I made in my point of view. A couple years ago. Whenever I would go through a rough patch, I used to have this tendency to just get stuck in it. I would just bemoan my bad luck. Things like this always happen to me. But a couple years ago, I realized, hey, this isn't working. This response to suffering only makes it worse and prolongs it. So I said to myself, I'm just gonna accept that bad stuff happens sometimes. Instead of getting stuck in it, I'm gonna do what I have to do to move forward. By doing this, I find myself way happier, even during those tough situations. And I find that I'm actually falling into these situations less and less because I'm learning, learning from my mistakes instead of trying to place the blame somewhere else.
