Writer and speaker Robin Sharma argues that difficult periods can encourage self-reflection, forgiveness and personal change. He contrasts a grievance-focused reaction with a more considered way of approaching problems.
Sharma says people in crisis can become caught in questions about why adversity has happened to them and see themselves only as victims of circumstances. That response, he argues, can deepen helplessness and make it harder to consider what can be learned from the experience.
He suggests treating hardship as an opportunity to examine personal values, ask difficult questions and develop the capacity to forgive. Sharma also says painful experiences can help people recognize their inner resources and strengthen their sense of self-worth.
These are Sharma’s personal-development views, not an established psychological or medical conclusion. LA NACION reported his argument that problems and tragedies can become a source of life experience.
