The pain you have gone through will give you the strength of character to come through it all, so long as you learn from what you have suffered then it was not suffering at all.

About This Quote

The pain you have gone through will give you the strength of character to come through it all, so long as you learn from what you have suffered then it was not suffering at all. If you learn from your suffering, your suffering becomes a positive force in your life. When you go through hardship, it can either make you stronger or destroy you. When you go through hardship that challenges your spirit and causes pain, it can transform you into a stronger person who is better able to handle the next challenge.
