Building Character to overcome dissappointments

As I reflect on past experiences that brought about feelings and thoughts of sadness. I often wondered as an adult, did any of these experiences impacted my well-being in some way. For instance, trouble in educational endeavors or social interactions are important aspects to building one's character. It obvious that one will attempt to isolate themselves from others if there is any reminder of the traumatic event. In retrospect, the many attempts to overcome painful memories has led me in a positive directions resulting in levels of inner strengths and a drive to overcome circumstances someone once stated that it could not be achieved. Belief in oneself to confront adversities and not crawl in bed and dwell on the issue is the first step that leads to the ability to walk away from future disappointments. Embrace the love for self and others will follow.
