Reply #76: I try to look at life events in other ways than seeing the bad as mistakes [View All]

[unpossibles]

Some of the worst things to happen to me - both those which came about through my own decisions and those which just happened - have also lead to good things, and vice versa. I would not be who I am today were it not for my mistakes. For instance, one mistake I used to kick myself over was losing touch with someone I was very much in love with, and for being too afraid and not making the right decisions, etc., but if I had done something different I would not know my wonderful wife, or many of the friends I have now, and who knows what else.

The shitty times not only help you appreciate the good times, but can directly put you on the path to something better/different.
