The Strength that Comes from Suffering

"The greatest glory of living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Nelson Mandela "The world breaks everyone, and those who survive are strong in their broken places." - Ernest Hemingway

Adversity is an inherent part of life, but it also presents an opportunity for personal development and transformation. When we experience suffering, we have the chance to build resilience and strength, as well as gain valuable insights about ourselves and our environment.

Nelson Mandela's quote emphasizes that our character is tested not by avoiding failure or hardship, but by how we respond when we inevitably encounter it. In times of adversity, we can demonstrate our perseverance and determination.

Ernest Hemingway's quote suggests that suffering can ultimately make us stronger in the areas where we have been broken. By overcoming adversity, we become stronger, wiser, and more compassionate than before.
