It depends what you choose to focus on.
If I let what I've experienced be my focus I would dig a hole and lay down in it.
From my perspective, I do my best to never let any of the negative stuff I've experienced stop me from living the life I want.
I fail often. But I never give up. We may not be able to change the things that make our lives harder, but we can still live our lives on our own terms.
Edit: We can't let our pain define us.
