Snowflake Challenge #7: Three Things You Like About Yourself

[brightly_lit]

Challenge #7

LIST THREE (or more) THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF. They don’t have to be your favorite things, just things that you think are good. Feel free to expand as much or as little as you want.

It's not easy to be me, but I'm proud that this is the person I am, and the person I got to be in this life.

I was presented with a seemingly impossible set of challenges/circumstances when I was young. I'm extremely proud of how I handled it. It took a long time to get up to speed to where I could even handle day-to-day life, much less do well at it. I had some very important help along the way that was vital, but damn if I didn't explore under every rock and in every nook and cranny for answers, and found the ones I needed. It was so, so so hard not to give up so many times. I'm proud of myself that I kept at it until I succeeded.

I love the way I balance the material, intellectual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. I read once long ago that keeping those things in balance is the key to happiness and success, and to whatever extent happiness and success are possible in this life, I think that's true.

I loved your list. You're so sure of yourself, and I know that it must have been hard for a while. It looks like the help you got worked big time. I'm so happy for you. Shine on. :)

Congratulations. It sounds like you've had a journey in life, from difficult starts to current stability, and that, by itself, is something to be proud of, in all the ways that it manifests in your life. Well done on bringing yourself to the person that you are today.
