Those who overcome great challenges will be changed, and often in unexpected ways. For our struggles enter our lives as unwelcome guests, but they bring valuable gifts. And once the pain subsides, the gifts remain. These gifts are life's true treasures, bought at great price, but cannot be acquired in any other way. Steve Goodier
About This Quote

When you are faced with a challenge, it is natural to feel pain. And, while the pain may be temporary, the gifts are permanent. When you are being challenged, you are being pushed to grow. During your struggles, your body will begin to heal.

You will develop greater strength. And when you face a challenge again, you will be better prepared for it.
