Do You Celebrate Disasters?

Definitely agree, Ryan. This is something I learned from retrospect: Every time you crumble, you lay a stronger and stronger foundation. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for your insight Jonathan.

We fear advancing because on a subconscious level I feel we know the Break Down is coming. By embracing the change it's easier to roll with it. Know what's on the way but more importantly focusing on the Build Up.

Nice thread. Many televisions and channels as well in world wide videos in internet they play many disaster happen and many people like to watch it and they very free to laugh but still there are person who feels sad.

I read a book recently on finding your way to light through depression. The idea is even you feel awful and face trouble by trouble that's also the way out so that you can be kinda reborn. So there's no need to be afraid of all the bad that happens to you.

I believe depression and all those mishaps help grow. And new life can bring anything.

Just felt I'd toss a little comment out there for the worry.

I'm not going to be very long as I could write a book on this.

But I can say sadly, disasters are going to happen, however there is nothing we can do about it afterwards.

4 years ago, I wouldn't have seen that in the same light. I was a very misunderstood child with an extremely low self-esteem and no confidence in who I was as a person whatsoever.

And to cut a long story short, only because I don't want to go to deep into my life story, sadly I have lost 3 people in the last 3 years.

I have lost my brother Lee (3 years ago to cancer), my brother Jonathan (only 2 days after my graduation in 2008), and my aunt Theresa (only 1 month ago to natural causes).

And from this... I can say that I have grown.

I won't say that I have celebrated these events, but I have grown into the man that I am now, at only 21 years old I have already dealt with more than many adults much older than myself have dealt with in their entire life... Of course there is much much more to my story and I keep going on and on.. but in conclusion:

Disaster can bring growth... however horrible the disaster, you should never give up. Allow the change to make you a better person and grow from it.

Sorry to be so personal on this. Thank you for posting this thread... a lot.

Sincerely,
Justin Lewis

I really needed to hear this going through that moment now, just in my mind. I feel a lot better

I wouldn't call them disasters... but I've enjoyed all my failures (on the hindsight, that is).

Every time I "failed", I didn't actually fail... I just found something that won't work. As I see it, that brings me one step closer to the thing that works.
