A while back when I was asked the question, "name the good things that have happened since your crash", I couldn't honestly think of anything. Now I can so I am slowly but surely getting better and as things improve I can recognise that some things have changed for the better:
I have become much more sensitive to peoples needs and much more empathic. I can recognise poeples emotional needs much more acutely. I put this to good use when I took a instructors position for the last 3 summers. The job was as a windsurf instructor which was something I'd always wanted to do. My crash was the catalyst to me getting my instructors qualifications and then the job. I was successful in the job because I could recognise peoples moods, fears, needs when I was teaching them.
I never forget that everything can change in a flash and I always try to keep that in mind when things get too busy with work. I make it my priority to try and get the right balance between everything.
I also know I can function on very little sleep, that when I put my stubborn character to good use it can help me improve, that I am a fighter and it's corny but its true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
