do you think problems you faced helped you? from my opinion, it did. it helped me to be different from what i used to be. not forgetting i still have a lot more to improve. it is through these problems we face that change our past. what do you say?

So the saying goes "live and learn." I think you can't learn and improve with the challenges that problems present you. Someone said in another of your posts "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," I totally agree...in some cases it gives people just one more excuse why..but in my case-I turn those lemons into lemonade! :) Have a great day!

Do problems shape our future? or change our past? I don't believe anything we do can change or shape our past. It's done and over. The only thing the past is good for is to help shape the future. If you make mistakes and something is learned from it- you gain knowledge and a better understanding of life- then the mistake was worth making. All mistakes made that nothing positive can be gained from are just mistakes - a big fat waste of life's time.

evry problem teaches a lesson and that lesson is useful and it is called experience more problems you face more you get and thus people can look for you for advice so this means that problems may be not liked in near future but they would surely be liked in long run by you

I am a firm believer that we are our choices. Whether it has been financial problems, family problems or illness I have learned over the years that there was a reason I went through that particular problem. I learned to take responsibility in my part . See my mistakes and try not to make them over and over. Growing pains hurt. Looking at yourself in the mirrow and liking who you see is worth every difficulty that you face. They say that that does not kill you will only make you stronger. What we make of our problems , i think determines who we become. Forgive those who do you wrong and most importantly forgive yourself. Life happens. And problems are a part of life. Embrace them and grow.

Yes..i think problem in life is good for us. It can make us change our bad things.it can make us care for others,make us thankfull for God. Life without problem,is not a life. If we dont have problem,,we just walking in the same point n never go forward or back.

yes because facing problems can help us to learn some lessons in life and the most especially we learn to seek God. That's actually God's plan, he want us to ask help to him, to remember him all the time that's why he give us problems to learn to call him.

definitely problems helped me to be the way i am now... those problems that comes to our life are actually spices in our lives! through those problems, we learn to be stronger and it reveals us what we can do... i think, whenever we have a problem, we should learn to face it and find solutions... and another thing, i think problems can make us closer to God...yes, coz like me, whenever i have a problem, i always pray to God and ask for His guidance and help to make me stronger...(but i always pray everyday), and also sometimes, problems help us to know who our real friends are, and it even makes family bond stronger, specially if all family members worked to solve such problems...

I think overcoming challenges and problems in life really helps. If you come across similar situations, or new challenges you know you have managed and coped before so you can do it again. I have many difficult times and faced some big challenges and feel like I can handle life a lot better because of it.

I think my biggest problems helped me look at the people/the world in a different way, but I still wish I could go back and make sure it never happened.

They say anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I believe that's true. Even if when you are stuck in the problem, it's not readily apparent. As you get older and wiser, problems usually become less threatening and easier to manage.
