The Truth About Resilience, Reflection, Self Love, and Growth You’re never too old to learn life lessons, grow, or reinvent yourself, even if your confidence is shattered from past life trauma. You can learn from it or let it destroy your self esteem. Become who your past self meant for you to be and choose to focus on the lesson rather than just the pain, which allows you to grow. Rebuilding involves rediscovering your true identity beneath the trauma. New things and people come a long. But you got to rebuild yourself and find your true self you want to be. When you start doing good with that, you’ll live and forget the trauma, it won’t be fully but you’ll remember the lesson that the Lord up above put upon you.
