What are the Top 3 Experiences that Made you a Stronger Person?
I'm curious to know how challenges and failure, actually MAKE US stronger, and thus how we should not run away from challenge and failure, but instead embrace them.
My Top 3:
1) Breaking up with my ex-girlfriend of 7 years (forced me to re-learn emotional independence, and to not rely on any woman for my sense of joy and fulfillment).
2) Dealing with Panic Attacks / Anxiety (this forced me to re-learn what it meant to "accept" and be at ease with life, and how inner-demons that are self-created can often times be the most destructive forces in our lives).
3) Sick mother and brother (my mother was diagnosed with MS, and my brother was diagnosed with cancer many years ago. Today they are both quite healthy and recovered. This experience forced me to see the fragility of human life, how death and destruction can happen to any of us, and it certainly helped reiterate to me that, if god DOES exist, he most certainly is not just, kind, or loving.
