Life is full of trouble and difficulties, but it is also full of beauty and joy. Every day you face your own set of problems. Every day, you deal with these issues, struggling through them, working to survive and become a stronger and better person. People who have survived difficult or terrible things have much to teach us. Facing cancer, natural disasters, domestic abuse, and violence, these survivors' lives have been changed forever. As they dealt with their experiences, they discovered things about their own lives and their view of the world changed. What possible good could come out of such things? What could we learn from those who have survived these things? The skills these survivors have learned from their experiences can give you the tools to deal with the struggles and difficulties you face in your own life. The things they have gone through are often terrible, but they have chosen to learn from them and grow through them, finding hope and something positive in the middle of pain and disaster.
