Would We Be Strong Today If We...

More you face challenges in any field then you become stronger in that field. It is but natural. In our everyday life we come across so many challenges of various types and we tend to become stronger and stronger.

dear, I agree with you that if we were put into different situations maybe we would be stronget people.God chooses certain people to go though bad situations to make them stronger people and i think that may be God's purpose for giving people misary.I would probaly be a stronger person if i went though a trauma such as a family member got really sick or something like that I was thinking that if i got though that i could get though anything and be a stronger person.If i had a great life with no issues at all i belelive that I would not be mentally or phiscally stronger than a person lets say went though a trauma,divorce or something like that.Not that i want that to happen to me I am just saying the postive note would be that it would make me stronger.

I do think I was born with an amount of strength....but certain experiences in my life have made me stronger....especially on the personal front as an individual. I feel that having being born with strength helped me to be stronger when adversity came my way. If I didn't have the strength, I would have buckled when things went wrong. I don't think it is experiences alone that makes one strong. One needs resilience to bounce back and the inner strength is what we need first and foremost.

I doubt we would, if we didn't go through whatever it is that we went through. Just like lifting heavy things and excercising makes our bidies stronger, mental excercise, and overcoming major life challenges makes us emotionally and mentally stronger.

Yes I am a stong person and a patience one too...I have been to hell and back about three times in my life....and now I am living a mostly peaceful life...but I enjoy every minute of it.

I think that the different things we face in life can make us stronger. It doesn't necessarily happen over night. But our endurance through different trials makes us stronger. Mine has been the loss of my father and his wonderful spiritual guidance at a young age. And now it seems to be issues with my marriage. Hopefully the problems i face now will continue to make me stronger. As you said i don't see it, just yet.

i think it was my mother made me strong. she was so mean and tough with me that i had to pretty well deal with most things myself. therefore being young i made lots of bad choices and had to live with a lot of crap. so learned how to deal on my own.

I think it just depends what type of events happens in one's life. I really think that saying, "if it does not kill you then it only make you stronger," is flawed. That saying works when you are young, but once you get older you realize its not entirely true. If it is just normal everyday struggles, then that will probably make you stronger as long as you learn from them. If it is some traumatic event that leaves you scared for life, then that for most people is an entirely different story. As those people live with some type of anxiety or fear for the rest of their lives. When something reminds them of that traumatic event(s). Time will heal people a bit but never fully. These people are never the same after such events. The sad thing is many people who know people who had something real bad happen to them can see it right away. That these people are just not the same.

Overcoming trials in life did not only made me a strong person, it makes me a better person.It helps me to make good decisions and choices in life.It made me value the things that I have.When I was unemployed and have little money left,I knew who are the people who can be counted as friends,and those whom you can really trust.I learned to spend wisely and to tried to start a business to finance my needs.I learned the value of investment and savings.Most of all,I learned to value my job and to be satisfied with what I have.

hi life is a gift,and lots of times the things we experience or go through helps us to learn and make us stronger,at the moment we may not understand y we are going through this,but after time has gone by most times we can use these experiences to help make better choices and no matter what it definetly makes us stronger to face each challenge that comes along

Definitely, I became a stronger person after I lost my mother. I was 27 at the time and I could not believe that I had lost my mother at that age. While it was painful, heartbreaking, and everything else you could possibly think of when you lose your loved ones, I know it was something that would eventually happen. I just didn't think it was that soon. I had a hard time in coping with my loss. If it were not for my family and a few close friends, I would have literally gone crazy, to be honest. However, I became stronger a couple of years later. I prayed and I knew my mother would not want to see me sad and weak. I'm not sure if anyone is born with a great amount of strength, to be honest..
