Hurmat Hashmi
I’m not incredibly resilient or as tough as nails, but I try my best. I don’t like letting minute conflicts and petty problems get to the best of me and divert my attention from more important experiences. I am a realist and am sometimes dubbed as a naysayer, but I feel as though it is more useful to consider the negative side of things very carefully rather than only focusing on the positive aspects to avoid disappointment and being let down.
Ever since I was a child, I have been stubborn about trivial matters and have a propensity to be easily annoyed or angered by certain things. I am working hard to rid myself of these toxic tendencies because I know that my psychological burdens will then be diminished. I know that during the times in which I have a cheerful disposition, I am a lot happier and generally more satisfied with the way things are in life. A mere human cannot control everything.
An important goal of mine is to learn to be more optimistic in sticky situations and be more tolerant of things I do not have power over. Conquering these obstacles will allow me to achieve immense personal growth as a young adult.
