Growing character

Donetta, a victim of childhood sexual abuse and torture, is back posting at A Life Restored. On her website she has these wise words:
The Character that is able to grow includes the ability to...
*Recover from distressing emotional states
*Sustain periods of negative strain and delay gratification or good feelings until a responsibility has been met
*Lose well, grieve, and let go of what cannot be reclaimed or won
*Confess when one is wrong
*Change behavior or direction when confronted with reality
