How to turn pain into strength

Some sufferings are not easily understood. But even difficult circumstances can be lived in a way that does not destroy you inside. Handling pain well does not mean seeking pain out or sugarcoating it. It means facing it with truth, asking for help if necessary, and letting it teach, purify, and strengthen you. There are hardships you cannot resolve immediately. In those moments, asking for help, accepting limits, and tending to the next possible step is already a form of fortitude.
