“Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficult situations and maintain a positive outlook, even in the face of adversity. Developing resilience is an important part of maintaining long-term happiness, as it allows you to weather the inevitable challenges that life throws your way. There are many ways to cultivate resilience, including developing a positive mindset, focusing on your strengths, practicing self-compassion, and building a strong support network. By working to build your resilience, you can develop the skills and mindset needed to maintain your happiness even during difficult times.”
I was playing with ChatGPT after being asked to question about how I could I stay “happy.” I would agree with everything that ChatGPT produced. I think the first sentence is probably the hardest to develop. After my first wife died in childbirth along with the baby, I didn’t know what to do, but I did know I shouldn’t “wallow in grief.” I did know I had to make funeral arrangements. My wife’s mother was great and helped with all of those things. Soon it was time for the funeral and the funeral director took the engagement ring off my wife’s hand and gave it to me as a remembrance and offered me to have one last kiss, which I did.
After that was all over, I knew I had to continue to work and support myself. My love for electronics kicked in and soon I was hard working again. And as I have said many times before, later my wife’s mother insisted that a man “needs a woman in his life.” I think that is reflected in the second sentence of the ChatGPT reply to my question. It was the third sentence that got me to where I am today. Maybe you will find something in ChatGPT’s response to my question that will help you. I hope so!
