What doesn’t kill us makes us STRONGER!!

Like so many of us in life, we've experienced some type of adversity. It's not fun and we don't like it, but as we experience adversity, we're also experiencing growth. That might sound like an oxymoron but think about it. Think of a time where you fought and struggled so hard and thought that you would NEVER pull through. A time when you were in so much pain, (mentally & physically) that it was unbearable. It could have been a struggle in your health, your finances, your family, and even your faith. 

Situations in life sometimes take us through a gamut of dramatic emotions and leave us feeling like we're at our lowest point. It's even difficult sometimes to see how we can pull ourselves out of certain circumstances. Oftentimes we feel like we're not going to make it. We might have gained some bumps and scrapes and battle scars in the process, but inevitably, we often pull through those tough times and on the other side of the adversity... we've emerged Victoriously!  

In the midst of adversity we learn & grow through the process; we gain confidence & courage; we become comfortable sharing our gained knowledge to help others overcome; we know what NOT to repeat the next time; we have a good idea of how to deal with the pain if we had to experience it again; we gain more clarity; we're stronger mentally, and we know that not only does time heal all wounds, but we also know that we will persevere through it.       

There's always something to learn through adverse situations and I'm a firm believer that what does not kill me will always make me stronger... not just for ME, but for the benefit of others as well.
