Does going through hardship, trials in life makes us stronger, tougher

I think there is a lot of truth in the saying that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Over the last few years there have been changes and incidents in my life that I never imagined I could deal with. I never thought of myself as a strong person and have never liked myself much - however, I can look back now and realise that I did ok.

Yes, we can become a better person if we face those trials, hardships, and difficulties with the right attitude. Before, I have not been kind, but because of circumstances, I learned to be kind with everyone because everyone has their own battle to fight and doesn't need additional load to bear. Mentally, I have developed a better way of dealing with problems than before. The list goes on but the most important is to learn from every mistakes or any trial that may come our life. Life is full of ups and downs!

I have had many things in my life happen that should it happen to another it might of destroyed them for me it did make me stronger I believe things happen for a reason and never does anyone receive anything they can not handle so people generally have two choices rise above find a way to overcome the hardship and in turn make them stronger wiser or turn resentful fight it and let them turn negative or worse make themselves out to be a victim it all depends on a persons mindframe if you look at anything the right way you can take a lesson out of it

I think human systems require continuous renewal. The ability to confront and resolve external and internal obstacles, test and challenges is a power that changes a person's life. As we age, we learn to discern right from wrong and receive strength to face the obstacles which comes from within and without. Every moment of our life's journey is a challenge. There are no problems, only opportunities to learn, grow and help others in the process. We've got to move on despite all the hardships we faced in life. I believe hardships not only makes us strong, tough but it also makes us wiser.

I believe that the best way to learn is when we face difficulties. When we are offered the difficulties, we try so hard to overcome that we will learn it by heart. Now, it is fairly likely that the same situation won't happen the second time but then something similar will and since we have experienced before, we are thus in better position to deal with them.
Flowers growing in a greenhouse may seems so nice being taken good care of compared to those growing in the wild. But the greenhouse may just disappear one day suddenly that which one will be better in fighting for survival?

I strongly believe that the trials and hardships we encounter in life are the one that make us a better person. They hone us to be stronger and better person. As for me, I now see life positively. Unlike before where I only had those negative thoughts that make me sad and bitter.

Yes of course and I believe on that because of the hardship and trials that we encounter in life we become strong and after we passed those trials we are able to get our reward and next time that we encounter again those trials it is easy for us to solve. It's just like an examination in the school where we need to pass all subjects to go in the next level. And this time it is tougher than before. So we will learn more like in life, we will learn the more the trials that we encounter.

i am of both. an individual may get tougher, or may be, he'll be much weaker. it depends on the events and circumstances. when someone felt that he had been useless then most probably he'll break down eventually, sooner or later will give up life as it is. like there is nothing left and nothing to loose.

I always try to ask myself one of two questions when hardship hits. Either, "What can I learn from this?" or "What have I learned from this?"

I've almost died a few times in my life; the first time was when I was 19 years old and I hemorrhaged after surgery. It made me realize just how fragile and precious life is. When I recovered and was out of the hospital, I vowed to make the most of my life and be the best person I could be.

Of course, if life has changed you, hopefully it's for the better. If it is for the better, you wouldn't want to brag about it, anyway. Bragging is not a good attribute. If you truly ARE as good as you think, you don't need to brag about it; people will know it.

You may not notice changes in yourself but everything we go through changes us a little bit, at least as long as we have our eyes, ears and hearts open.

personally, i believe it to be true. as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. when you surpass difficult situations, you come out of it as a better and more mature person. You may not be scathe-free, yet the things that you learn from the situation will definitely aid you in cases you encounter something similar.

nonetheless, not all people respond the same way when faced with difficult situations. trials can either make us or break us, we can come out of it better or bitter. at the end of the day we chose how to respond to these situations.
