How We Become Stronger When We Are Faced with Difficult Time in Life

Is our life always plagued by problems and hardships? That is the reality of life in this
world that is a testing ground for everyone regardless of age, gender, or race. There is no
doubt that a person will definitely go through happy and difficult times throughout his life. Yet,
everything we face is good for ourselves even if we find it difficult to deal with it. Difficult times
can be understood with anything we face beyond our means and capabilities and become a
meaningful experience for us. Thus, the difficult times faced can have a positive impact on
individuals as well as produce strong individuals with the values of courage, patience,
determination, and more. Yet, how do we become strong when facing difficult times in life?
This is because, we see those difficult moments have a negative impact on individuals such
as sadness, depression, and so on. When we examine every moment we go through whether
easy or difficult, there is a message to be conveyed. Difficult times awaken us not to give up,
teach us to think positively and be patient and build our self-confidence.

First of all, how we become
stronger is because difficult times have
awakened us never to give up on any
circumstances. This is because we will
be willing to sacrifice our time and energy
to achieve success, once we realize that
success is not easy to obtain. For
example, when we want to pursue our
studies at the best universities in the
world such as the University of Oxford,
People who are successful in life never give up
we have to go through various
challenges such as getting excellent results, undergoing admission tests, competing with the
smartest students in the world, and more. Then, we do not give up but continue to strive to
find a solution to each problem. This is because we realize that despair will lead to failure.
Sayed Ibrahim (2019) in Book of Beat Despair, said "Once you stop believing in a better
tomorrow, you are in trouble". In conclusion, the difficult times we go through will awaken us
never to give up in life.

Furthermore, we become stronger

when the difficult times we go through can

teach us to think positively and to be

patient in every matter. With our patience

in the face of difficult times, all sorts of

negative things can be avoided. This is

because difficult times do not necessarily

have bad effects. The fact is, there's good

for us in everything that happens. In the Positive thinking will have a lot of good
article of Patience in Everyday Life, effects
"patience buffers against negative

emotions and allows coping more adaptively, especially in situations that cannot be changed"

(Schnitker,2012). At the same time, we will know that life needs to continue despite all sorts

of undesirable obstacles. For example, although the death of a loved one such as a parent is

the saddest thing, the lesson is that we can be better like self-reliance, responsible and patient.

This causes us to patiently accept all the things that we have to endure. In conclusion, we

become stronger when difficult moments we go through teach us to think positively and to be

patient in any matter.

Finally, how can we become stronger when we face difficult times? It turns out that the
difficult moments we go through it can build our self-confidence. This is because we will not
be afraid to take action and decisions. For example, we are given a heavy trust that is to take
on the responsibility of being a leader to an organisation. According to Binod Atreya (2013) in
the Article “Are You a True Leader?” said, "a true leader is one who shoulders the
responsibility for failure and success in the organisation". However, it can make us stronger
as we are wise in action, confident in making decisions, and being brave when speaking in

public. Then, we will be convinced of the
potential within us because every human being
has his own potential and abilities whether he
realises it or not. Tony Robinson (2021) said,
"Focus on what you can control, not what you
can't". Hence, we will be stronger when difficult
times we go through can build confidence in us
and hone our abilities.

Self-confidence is the foundation of all
great success and achievement

On the whole, every moment we go through is either difficult or not will affect us. The
proof is, we are able to be stronger when facing difficult times for us. This is because difficult
times make us awaken not to give up, so we will strive and struggle on achieving success.
Next, we will be thinking positively and being patient in every matter in living life because of
the difficult times teaching the meaning of real life. In addition, difficult times build our self-
confidence to become stronger people. In my view, we must look at anything from a positive
angle even if we don’t like the thing. This is because there are times when what we hate is
good for us. We must remember that however difficult life may seem, there is always
something we can do and succeed at. Evidently, the difficulties we go through at a certain
time, in fact, bring good to us and make us stronger.
