Our first instinct when life gets tough is to do something that makes the pain stop. By living together we're trying to change our "default setting" to when life gets tough, stay where you are and think about how you can change so that change comes to your situation.
I'm really proud of the people I live with because that's exactly what they are doing. The temptation to blame everyone else and take no responsibility is very real.
I said to Cameron last night, "what we are experiencing now is exactly what we wanted to happen when we all moved in. We wanted to be challenged and to change." We just have to keep reminding ourselves of that!
