Pain and strength

I read the below quote several times, and all I could think was, “Life is very interesting…is it?!” I suspect that’s just a reflection on where my head is right now, rather than necessarily a true reflection of whether life is interesting or not!

I may have got a bit caught up on whether life is interesting or not, but the rest of the quote I had no issue with as it’s totally true – The things which, at the time, cause us to struggle and experience the most physical and/or mental upset and pain, help make us who we are today, by helping grow stronger and understand better who and what is important to us.

Have you identified the struggles and low points you’ve endured in your life, and most importantly, are you now able to see how those struggles have actually made you stronger as a person?
