Conflict doesn't shake me. And at first, I couldn't figure out why.
Well.
Compared to the trauma of homelessness, workplace conflict is merely a micro moment. Rather than feeling ashamed, I now see that experience as a ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ.
Surviving homelessness gave me the ability to:
โ๏ธ Scenario plan for risks and threats
โ๏ธ Develop survival instincts and process urgent issues
โ๏ธ Prioritize and manage despite fear
This aligns with the concept of ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ-๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก โ where surviving trauma can actually strengthen resilience, decision-making, and perspective.
The growth advantage is tangible:
โ
Resilient people are 2.5ร more likely to hit personal goals
โ
70% report higher life satisfaction and fewer burnout symptoms
These stats ring true in my own life and with my siblings. Resilience has shown us how to shift perspective and turn setbacks into strengths in ways I never expected.

After all, we aren't going through hardships to flat line and keep us stuck.
