Michele's formula of "Personal Responsibility + Positive Attitude + Selfless Service = A Good Life" is truly insightful.
It sparks a fascinating internal debate for me about where personal responsibility truly begins and ends, particularly in the face of profound adversity like hers. It’s not about blame, but about agency.
Michele's ability to take "personal responsibility and learn how to manage [pain] as effectively as possible" speaks volumes to an inner strength that many of us aspire to cultivate. It's a reminder that even when circumstances are beyond our control, our response, our attitude, and our commitment to ourselves remain powerful tools.
Alex, I would like to know more about that fascinating internal debate about where personal responsibility begins and ends in the face of profound adversity. Does it ever end? That might be hard to accept for most of us, but maybe that's the bottom line—not in terms of self-blame but in taking responsibility for our response in any situation. As you point out, our response, attitude, and commitment to ourselves are powerful tools that impact our state of mind. Perhaps you can write about this topic one day!
I appreciate the depth of your thinking and response!
Our lives are blessed by people like Michele. I like to think each of us can make a positive difference in the lives of others in our own way and with our own style.
Judy, I like your way of thinking! And we don't have to be like Michele or anyone else. As you can say, we align with our own way and style. Thank you.
Daffodil, I currently have 20 composition book designs, and I’ve just started working on the guided prompt journal. Thanks for your encouragement. It means so much to me.
This is such a poignant tribute to your dear friend, Sandra. And a much-needed reminder to live life in ways that bring us joy and fulfillment, no matter the storm we're going through.
