There's a great sense of peace that comes from being secure enough in oneself to realize that validation from others is unncessary. I think self-awareness is crucial to happiness - it can stop negativity in its tracks. There are some things I find really frustrating - people who feed off of idle chatter and assumptions and who can't seem to understand anything beyond their own experiences. It's amazing being able to (finally) banish those attitudes. It's rewarding to work to see things from all sides and truly understand what it means to be inclusive. Putting your soul into everything is worthwhile. I'm happy for the challenges life brings and the feeling of resilience that inspires. W
