There's a particular sense of confidence that comes with knowing you can bear whatever sufferings may come. 

Fueled by insatiable ambition and experienced in new beginnings; faith in Resurrection is the milk & honey of the mind.

In hindsight, the healing process has been exponentially better than expected and I'm sure it has a lot to do with attitude. This optimistic perspective didn't just magically manifest itself, it was curated by past thinking.

It was my conscious choices; Simple things, like my diet, have kept my body efficient in it's repairs. 

Same goes for my disciplined training. 

Imagine how much longer my healing would take if I wasn't conditioned to produce as many white blood cells due to lack of fitness. 

These are the moments you can stand proud of the character you design.
