CLAUDIA'S RADICAL (SELF) LEADERSHIP BLOG

Well, it's been some days (currently it seems like an age with how much Mr. T's actions hit the headlines….) since Mr T and the president of the Ukraine clashed massively in the public eye.

No, I’m not suddenly mad. And no, I don’t enjoy suffering either. I simply realized that the adversities in my life were the most useful, even if not enjoyable moments. And often those difficult situations happen between people: Disagreements and arguments.
