Trauma is not the bad things that happen to you. 
But what happens inside you
as a result a result of what happens to you.

Succeed and Soar’s “Words”, explores concepts that could help better appreciate human experiences. This postโ€™s words are: Late Heavy Bombardment.  

NASA reports, โ€œAround 4 billion years ago, our young inner solar system underwent a cataclysmic pummeling by asteroids โ€ฆ Early Earth suffered constant threat of attack from leftover planet-building material [and] โ€ฆ failed planets.โ€ Earthโ€™s assaults, โ€œcame from the movement of the giant planets [Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune], which sent debris raining down on the smaller rocky worlds.โ€

Further, โ€œwhile giant impacts bring with them the idea of impending doom, other studies show that life could have still survived โ€” or even flourished โ€” in microbial form. Underground microbes would have flourished as their habitats increased thanks to the impacts โ€ฆ

โ€œWhen it comes to space rocks slamming into Earth, two stand out. Thereโ€™s the one that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago โ€ฆ a mere 10 kilometers in diameter. The impactor that formed the Moon, see National Geographic video, may have been about the size of Mars. But between the gigantic lunar-forming impact and the comparatively diminutive harbinger of dinosaurian death, Earth was certainly battered.โ€

Succeed and Soarโ€™s first โ€œWordsโ€ series began by exploring โ€œTraumatic Wisdom” on January 29, 2022. As stated by the web site Natural Instinct Healing,

By redirecting your pain towards something constructive,
preferably something that affects the lives of others in a positive way.
It can enable you to search and find true positive meaning in your life.
As well as ultimately become better versions of yourself.

True, Earth endured awful experiences. The planet also survived, continuing on to produce life and a beautiful world. As actress Mary Pickford said, โ€œThe past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.โ€

Come what may,

Succeed and Soar!
