You found how strong you really are
You didn’t know before—how strong you truly are. You spent much of your life afraid something would happen, unsure as to how you’d handle it. But now you think of the terrible, complex, twisted, and painful situations you were in. You think of what you had to do to get out of there. Maybe you had to disappoint your whole family, by breaking off the engagement with the guy they picked for you. Maybe you had to be scorned by your peers by speaking the truth about an injustice happening in the company. But you did it.
