Remembering My Mad Skillz

As I reach for new things and consider my next steps, it's easy to forget what's going well in my life. So each day this week, I'm going to devote time to appreciate the things about me that don't suck.

One important thing I have going for me now is a set of skills that help me combat personal misery. I also have a better understanding of how my brain works. So now I know that I can overcome all kinds of personal crap, even if world events continue to disturb me.

I may not have perfect judgment, but my experience has taught me that the two worst things I can do are to base my choices on the perceived opinions of others and to not make choices at all.
