More About Survival

Just finished reading this book. While it's mostly about surviving physical trauma, it applies to emotional trauma as well. In fact, the author says we're all survivors. No one gets through life without a few tragedies.


I've managed to survive both physical and emotional trauma--I suffered third degree burns when I was 19 and spent three months in the hospital--so I was especially interested in the qualities that survivors share. Here are the ten listed:

Adaptibility
Resilience
Faith
Hope
Purpose
Tenacity
Love
Empathy
Intelligence
Ingenuity
Flow
Instinct


My top three were:
Purpose
Tenacity
Hope

Here's my question. What do you think your top three survivor qualities are? I'd love to read your comments.
