We have to tear down muscle before it will grow. Break eggs to create a tasty omelette.
Our challenges and obstacles are not problems that devastate us but conditions that perfect us. A gifted sword smith bangs on steel and exposes it to fire to hone it to a magnificent sharpness.
Most things of value need to pass through tough times before their best value is achieved.

“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”– Friedrich Nietzsche

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”– Helen Keller
