Fascinating, Cheryl. I look forward to reading along as you "unpack" each one. I have long wondered about people like you and me, who have the good fortune to be unusually resilient. There is some evidence to suggest we were born with these hardy personalities, and that we came into the world with a more effective coping tool-kit. I think people can definitely learn different ways to respond to failures and frustrations that can help them become more resilient, though, and this list sounds like it's full of clues.
It's going to be a great year, isn't it Beth!! I can always use improvement so lists like this give me goals I can focus on.
I'm looking forward to "unpacking" them too. I love how you used that word. You're very clever, my friend. Take that and run with it as you write. You're going to be famous before long. I really believe that!!!
These are great! Some I could improve on as well.
