This advice is a direct quote from John Cashmore, a man I interviewed for my book, “Facing the World.” What happened to prompt his comment? His wife of five years left him for another man. A good friend of his! Who he worked with! And still works with!
His painful experience added to his self-esteem issues resulting from the cleft palate he was born with. You can be sure he suffered emotional turmoil and humiliation, but he got over it, and good for him. Think of how miserable he would be today if he remained bitter.
John has a good attitude that doesn’t include self-pity. He is a caring person who has helped many people as a patrolman and as a volunteer in his community. It’s no wonder that he found another wife and a happy life.
