Have your past struggles in life made you bitter or better?

Everyone in life will go through challenging times; some more than others. I find it fascinating how two different people can go through similar challenges and their response to what has happened can be so different. One may remain a victim to their circumstances and the other may become a better person from it.

I remember hearing a story about two brothers that were brought up with an alcoholic abusive dad. One son became an alcoholic who struggled in life and the other created a life that he loved. When asked individually why their lives turned out the way they did, each of them said a similar answer. “Well with a dad like that, how else was I going to turn out?”

Our challenges, heartaches and tragedies can potentially be a blessing to our character. These experiences can make us stronger, more compassionate and a better human being if we allow them to.
