What impresses me, however, is how some people make even the most serious situations fun, light, and straightforward. That is a rare gift-to bring humour, positivity, or a sense of calm to moments that might otherwise feel overwhelming.

They possess a unique ability to read the room, find the silver lining, and share it with everyone. They remind us that while we may not always be able to control what happens, we can choose how we respond. Contagious energy, spirits are lifted, and challenges somehow seem less overwhelming.

It’s not just their resilience that inspires me but their generosity in sharing it with others. These people leave an indelible mark simply by being themselves.

Who are the people in your life who make tough times better?
