  One of my favourite phrases: <br>&quot;You cant even imagine how strong you can be when being strong is the only option you have&quot;.

  I got divorced in 2016, I lost my job, lost all of my properties and material things , including most of my clothes. My mother was murdered in 2017. I was involved in a car accident in 28th Dec 2018. Lost my job again 2019. I got Covid 19 and was hospitalized was in ICU in 2021 for 10 days. But I bounced back because of resilience and mind power. Now I&apos;m running marathons and competed a few and got medaka🥉 and I will running my 1st Ultra Marathon 87km on the 9th of June 2024. Whatever you are going through stay resilient and grow through it.. If I can do it so can you.

  I think everyone watching this documentary came at it from experiencing past painful events. What a lovely collection of humans here, including you all in the comments section, who are all just trying to do their best to get through it. You’re all incredible

  I lost my father in a road accident back in 2022, and instead of supporting me, my wife of just six months chose to fight with me during that difficult time. My brother was soon diagnosed with a mental disorder, adding to the burden. With no support from my partner, I faced threats from both her and her mother, who even vowed to destroy my already struggling family. Their narcissistic behavior only worsened the situation, and I found no comfort from relatives. Yet, here I stand at 32, having weathered these challenges and standing strong. Resilience has been my path, a quality I inherited from my father, who himself faced many setbacks in life.

  Inner strength isn’t about being unbreakable, it’s about being unwilling to stay broken. It’s the resilience that whispers, “I can handle this,” even when your mind is filled with doubt ❤

  i got depressed in 2020 because of the huge work stress after i was promoted manager, i should felt happy about it and people comgrat to me, but the huge work load made me feel super stessful, i could not fall asleep and i feel dizzy everyday, finally i quitted my job and start travel fishing and do whatever i want to do, i finally overcame from the nightmare. people always worry too much, worry lossing and want more, when you think anout, the only thing matters is the life, all other thing is not big deal, think simple, demand less, dont pay attention to others, pay attention to youself.

  I had a friend that graduated with straight A&apos;s from MIT in electrical engineering. When he found work, he couldn&apos;t take the stress and had a mental breakdown. He went to school and became an electronics technician. Then he searched for a job, not mentioning he was a MIT graduate. His new employer was very happy to have a bright straight-A electronics technician.

  I like the quote: &quot;Be optimistic even if you&apos;re wrong; don&apos;t be pessimistic even if you&apos;re right.&quot;

  Pain makes us strong. Overcoming pain, struggle, defeat, and never giving up.

  I always say this: allow yourself to be stressed; it is normal. But never allow yourself to be overstressed; you might not cope up.

  What helped me cope with destabilizing experiences: exercise, enough sleep, meditation, support group, reading, journal writing, friends.....

  Being okay with being weak sometimes opens the path to resilience. You don&apos;t beat yourself up when you fail so you dust yourself off, and soldier on.
