Significant Life Events

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

My perspective on life has been shaped by quite a few significant life events. The event in my life that has most affected my perspective on life has definitely been my experience of mental health issues.  It changed my life forever when I was diagnosed.  Initially I experienced a lot of stigma, from some ignorant people,  and I lost some so-called friends as a result. I learned the lesson to only surround myself with good people,  with good intentions.  It has shaped me to have great compassion and empathy, and made me a gracious and grateful 🙏🏽 person.  Being denied some things as a result of my mental health issues has given me an appreciation of the little things and finer things in life. I now have serenity and a love of the simple pleasures 🙏🏽 of life. I am contented and at peace.

The passing of my Dad, Susanna and Michael has made me treasure true love ❤️ and true friendships.  Life is short, appreciate your loved ones whilst they are here on Earth 🌎 because our loved ones aren’t on earth forever.  Our souls are eternal though,  so always keep and be blessed by the love of those we hold dear. Life is short, so appreciate it whilst we still have it
