Tragedies can contain some of life’s greatest rewards and valuable lessons. Struggle makes you stronger. Pain makes you alert. Clouds bring forth the rain. As a wise man once said, ‘You seek problems because you need their gifts.’ Why would you rob someone of these benefits?

About This Quote

Life is full of struggle, but it's precisely in the struggle that we are able to become stronger. We learn much in our struggles, and when we look back on them, they reveal what matters most. The greatest gifts of struggle are the lessons learned along the way. These lessons show us what is most important, and when we finally take the lessons to heart, we become all the stronger for them.
