Hardship...End Result! ( Archived) (47)

Hardship---Does it make you:
Better?
Stronger?
Bitter?
Frustrated?
Angry?
Exhausted?
Sleepless?

Where does hardship take you to? Does it matter the type of hardship? Does it matter the length of the hardship?

I have found Hardship to bring the following traits to a person if they deal with the hardship well...

Humility
Ambition
Responsibility
Determination
Supportiveness
Honesty
Imagination
Pride

Just my thoughts, take care,
me

it truly depends on the person you are, me it makes me stronger, wiser, and better. the lingth is imaterial. I concider there to be two typs of people the 1. get busy living and 2. the get busy dying. I mean this in no way to offend anyone but we can eather sulk in our hardships what ever they may be, or grow from them and move on with life, as the saying goes life is not all a bed of roses

Hardship for me has made me a stronger women. I was bitter, angry and depressed. I do not take the little things for granted anymore. I try to live each day as if it were my last. I went from major dept store to Dollar General and it took me sometime to adapt. But hey I'm cool with that. For me personally it's all what you make of it.

As to the length of time I have no answer...

Well in my case it makes you appreciate real people, real friend and real happiness.

Lifes too short for all the unimportant crap!

What I did shirley was a couple of years ago I got some girlfriends of mine to write down all their disappointments in life and their hardships that were wearing them down..

I then told them to bring their thoughts on paper to my place at a set date..

I put on a barbecue and drinks and I stood and said if any of you are serious about getting on in life and letting go of all your past pains and tribulations follow me..

I stood at my barbie with my written notes and I said something along the lines of today we are letting go and we are moving forward from today..I then threw my notes in my barbie to burn and the girls did the same and we screamed 3 huge cheers for us and we had a great celebration that night to move forward and not look back

def. hardships makes me stronger.

My sentiments exactly Rob!

During it, I go through depression and sleeplessness as I face all of the darkest parts of me, and all of my mistakes. These are the times I have my "Dark Nights of the Soul."

Then I rally and gain my perspective and my strength, and start fighting my way out of it. And I reach out to my friends for support and prayers while I do this.

Surviving it and coming out the other side makes me better, stronger and more appreciative of everything I have and everything I am.

No, the duration and type do not make the difference.
