Use this difficult time to improve a part of you that rarely gets challenged: Your Identity.
Consider that horrible feeling in your gut. That's the part of your identity that is bruised.
That's the part of your identity that you allowed to be out of your control.
That's the part of your identity that is outside of yourself.
Comprehend that exposure you are allowing into your core identity.
Work to separate yourself from it.
Use this time in your life as a gift to grow stronger.
