Surviving difficult times

“You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity…” ~ Epicurus
Relationships are not easy.  People disappoint one another, sometimes intentionally, but often without even knowing.  In many instances it is due to a break in communication, even the lack of communication.  We expect the other person to know what we are feeling or even what we want.
If you are strong enough to survive adversity, it is like reaching the top of a mountain where you can admire the view even though every muscle is aching.  The accomplishment makes you proud of one another and you grow closer.
