What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

We’d all like to think that our successes are our greatest points, but to be honest, some of my failures have taught me the greatest lessons of all. Some of my most painful moments have led me to make my biggest leaps forward. I lost a job a long time ago and that taught me about working harder and making myself invaluable. I’ve lost both my parents and a stepfather and I’ve learned the importance of my closest relationships and staying in touch with the people I love. I went through a divorce and I learned about things that make a marriage strong. Pain is a good teacher, but I do wish I could learn as much from moments that aren’t painful.
