Secrets to Thriving on Clubhouse

Description

What are your secrets to survival, thriving, and even success? Everyone has gotten some secrets to thriving, you do too.

I was born an unwanted child. As the third daughter, I was born when the one-third policy was the most strict in China. My grandparents and father were planning to trade me with my boy cousin, but my mother didn't allow it and my cousin's parents changed their minds. I grew up with very little attention from the adults. I survived several fatal near-death accidents. I often feel lucky I am still alive.

I was bullied in middle school because of my family's poverty. I was bullied and laughed at in high school, college, work and social spaces because of my village accent, darker skin, and farmer family.

15 years ago, I got married to my husband, who attracted me with our shared values in family, love, relationship, and responsibility. I unquestionably thought I was a Cinderella. However, my husband's old habits of being super critical and controlling or perhaps his undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome created some of the darkest and hardest moments in my life. Fortunately, 15 years later, we are still happily married.

2 years ago, I didn't think I could comfortably give public talks in English, but now I am challenging myself to host this club. 

Here are some of my secrets:
#1
a positive and simple mindset (born with)
#2
self belief, self value, and self encouragement. 
#3 setting boundaries
#4 respect, love, and trust
#5 be open-minded and courageous 
#6 keep moving

Looking forward to hearing yours.
