Ever Have to Land on Your Feet?

I've read that goats are sure-footed and will always land on their feet. Let's prove this theory is true. Please share some inspiring stories of how you were literally knocked off your perch and climbed your way back up the mountain.

I'll start. I got downsized from my lucrative job with a good title. Lived on unemployment and severence pay for four months. Then went back to a previous company for less income. After six months they did a mass layoff. A week later I kicked my ex husband out. Lived on unemployment for five months while maintaining a mortgage and bills. Then I found the job I had now with more income and less responsibility than either of the two positions I grieved over losing. Cheers for climbing back up the mountain!

NO I HAVE LANDED ON MY HEAD SEVERAL TIMES THAT IS WHY I THINK LIKE I DO.

Isn't it nice to look back and notice where you've been, what you've done and you survived and now all the stronger? It's a good feeling.

🙂 It is a good feeling to know inside yourself that you are a survivor.

XX000 - It's all in perspective. If you look at the negative and find ONE single positive and focus on that, then you can see the negative could be seen as a positive.

For instance - if the negative experience taught you a lesson, or changed your priorities, etc. Then it becomes a positive experience.

I had a counsellor tell me one time that she worked with a rape victim. The girl said that there was nothing positive about that. The counsellor then told her one, he didn't kill her and two, she was a survivor, three, it changed her to be more careful and to be more aware and four, she appreciated how it changed her priorities and had a better understanding of what a good man was.

Just sayin' and just a suggestion.
