People say that trials make or break us, and I full-heartedly agree.
Sure, trials present stupid situations and life-changing decisions, but these are what I call "defining moments". How we respond and retaliate to adversity says a lot about our character, and who we are as a human being.
It can make us or break us, and it's completely up to you.
We are all unique, therefore our capacity for heartbreak and tribulation varies.
For example, person A is going through a parent's divorce, and person B is battling severe illness. Person A couldn't even comprehend person B's trial, and same goes otherwise. Each trial is specific to a person's needs and potential, but each is meant to be a "defining moment".
Defining moments range from all over the spectrum, and each person will continually face them throughout life. Just remember: each trial comes with a lesson, and the end product will be the most wonderful "you" possible.
My defining moment? My brother's death.
He was my best friend, and the person who I had spent 10 years of my life with. I had never even dreamed of losing anybody, especially him. It was a huge and horrific surprise to my family when Nate died, almost over night. He had severe special needs, and all those surgeries had finally caught up to him. Watching him die was the most heartbreaking, painful, spiritual experience I have ever had. I learned to put my faith in God, and trust him fully. This experience has made me the person I am today. I try so very hard to always be happy, and say what I'm thinking, because you never know what the future has in store.
Let your defining moments make you a better person. It will all be worth it, I promise.
