While I'm an advocate for therapy and unpacking the past issues are still affecting us today, it's also a good practice to look at the things that went right in our lives. Acknowledging both the good and bad can be a healthier way to tell the story of our lives. One of the good traits that I picked from my childhood home was the strength to endure. I watched the people around me go through difficult challenges and still hold their heads up high. It wasn't until I sat down and thought about it, that I realized how many good skills that I was directly or indirectly taught and still use today.
