Misfortunes are miserable, nobody wants it on purpose, but once we get it under control, we realize that we better understand our capacity and inner strength.
Adversity makes us who we are and makes us realize that we can survive similar difficulties. It brings us out of our comfort zone, and we feel it was an opportunity to grow. Later, we remember it with pride.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and makes you a fighter. Great minds rise above difficulties, surmount the evils of life, and consider misfortune a stepping stone to greatness.
