It's no secret that I passionately believe the hard times in life are not a curse— they are a blessing. I believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. The hard times make you stand a little taller, know yourself better, believe that you can survive. In the end, what doesn’t kill you makes you into a fighter, someone who can run the race of life with confidence.God tells us this is true, so is it any surprise that science now has the proof to back it up? Because hard times and troubles are such a big part of people’s lives, scientists have been studying the effect that these things have on our bodies and minds. Researcher Mark Seery, a psychologist at the University at Buffalo in the U.S., said: ‘Serious events – like the death of a child or parent, a natural disaster, being physically attacked, experiencing sexual abuse, or being forcibly separated from your family – can cause psychological problems. In fact, some research has suggested that the best way to go through life is having nothing ever happen to you. But not only is that unrealistic, it’s not necessarily healthy.’
