Tough Times Build Character

Throughout life we will be tested with trials and hardships that we cannot run from – but face. Adversities and suffering are opportunities for learning and growth. They help us understand ourselves, others and the world around us. Sometimes, they can be seen as blessings in disguise and though we face trying times, it helps us gain strength, wisdom and empathy.

Loss of jobs, loss of a loved ones, failing relationships or finding out that we’ve been hit with a disease – these are hardships that any one of us can experience in a lifetime which test our will and our spirit. Each of us will respond differently to these setbacks – some may blame themselves, get angry or cast blame to others – but what we must do is to keep our spirit strong and remain calm, level headed and positive that things can turn around, despite how dark the present moment can seem. The way we react to these circumstances can impact our long term success.


Be an inspiration to others and keep up your strong spirit. Be thankful for the difficult times, the limitations and the challenges as they help us grow, gives us opportunities for improvement and help us build strengths and characters. As they say, tough times don’t last but tough people do!
