We are all deeply affected by things that we consider "important" to us. I put important in quotes because only those events that become rooted deeply within our being - that class of stimuli that can leave behind fundamental questions about who we are - truely have the power to strand us with emotional unbalance.
In my life right now, like in anyone else's, there are a number of entries listed in my "important" book. Any one of these entries (people, places, things) have the power to drastically alter my emotional state... This is a choice that we make when we sign on - from joy to hurt - it's a package deal.
Even when things get bad, it's impossible to stop being you...you just transform into a version of you that you may be uncomfortable with. The good news is that the emotional centre of your body, no matter how tarnished, remains intact. In times where emotional paralysis leaves you searching for something, remember that there are people that you can turn to for support.
So smile! Take the positives from your life experiences and run with them. Flood your ears with songs that speak to you, and chill with the people you love. :)

Wise words sensei. It's a very neat addendum to the 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger philosophy' in the sense that you're less likely to be killed if you go with backup. I would prefer to plant and nurture my positives rather than run with them though =) Never stop smiling!!
A very inspirational post! You've brightened my day, at least a little bit. Thanks Rob!
