I’m extremely frustrated! I’ve had three cases of Covid. One on January 2022. Another case in December 2022, and two weeks ago with Covid Pneumonia. I’ve been fully vaccinated.

Post category:Challenge and Conflict Overcoming Adversity

It seems that taking responsibility for one’s actions and one’s life is not a given these days. Is it okay to avoid apologizing in order to appear stronger? Why do so many people feel victimized by their circumstances, and become so discouraged that they don’t seek to improve their lives?
