The Trials We Endure in Order to Grow
Every trial has its lessons and sometimes rewards
“Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.”
- Charles Spurgeon
The man accused of stealing a loaf of bread stood before the judge at his trial. While in the next courtroom, was a young judge presiding over the trial of an elderly woman accused of robbing a bank. The young woman, Alicia was excited to be a bride, she went for a number of trials to have the correct fit for her wedding dress at the shop where the wedding dress was being designed. In life we face a number of tests, so that we can learn to be better people. At school we have to do examinations so that we can prove that we have understood the subjects we have learned from books.
Life has its fair number of trials that we have to face in order to evolve as human beings. We hear of medical trials when subjects agree voluntarily and in some instances for remuneration, they undergo tests or have medication, so that the effects of the drugs can be monitored by the doctors and scientists in the laboratory.
“It’s the trials and tribulations that really test a person, and coming through those difficulties is what shapes a person’s character.”
- Johanna Konta
The athlete went through a lot of tests to measure her determination, endurance and perseverance. The same is true of soldiers who need to go through tough training programs to test their mental and physical strengths. It is only when a person succeeds in overcoming these trails is he or she able to become a soldier. The same holds true in life, when we need to face tests of skill and determination, till we can become the person we were meant to be in life.
“It’s okay to lose. Losing teaches you something. Having to try and going through the trials and tribulations to actually overcome, to get there to win, to triumph, that’s what makes life interesting.”
- Elizabeth Banks
Trials are not always mental or physical and they can sometimes be spiritual. There are moments when we doubt ourselves and we lose or trust and our faith. This is because we feel that we are put under a lot of stress and pressures and we cannot always handle it. However, it is only when we harness our strength, determination and faith in who we are as individuals can be overcome the trials that we face in life. The result is that we are so much stronger, self-reliant and resilient after the experiences. There are moments in life when we need to turn to other for help and support, especially when we have to face trials that seem unsurmountable. Every trial will make you stronger in life and it is only when you learn to cope will you realize the importance of these tests in life. Every trial has its lessons and sometimes it also offers us rewards.
Here is a collection of some amazing stories of trials and tests penned by some amazing writers.

Are there different moral compasses? asks, The Silent Monk.
The Heavenly Congress had convened once again, setting the stage for an intriguing debate. All the angels had gathered, and the assembly was presided over by the founders of the moral code for humanity.
Today, the Heavenly Congress faced a momentous decision: “Should we establish different moral compasses for the advantaged and the disadvantaged? Those who lack wealth, those who are differently abled, and those born in the harshest of circumstances?”

Experience the resilience of a towering mountain with Elvie ❤️ Lins.
Upon the mountaintop I stand, backpack heavy, heart so light, As the sun emerges, casting golden hues upon my sight. The world awakens, painted in hues of amber and gold, A tapestry of hope and dreams, a story yet untold.
The rocks beneath my feet are rugged, weathered by the years, Yet they stand as silent witnesses to countless joys and tears. I too have weathered storms, faced trials both fierce and long, But here I am, still standing strong, in the morning’s tender song.

We mature emotionally after our trails and tribulations, says, Garima Sharma.
I was advised not to put too much stress on material objects or superficial concerns. My family trained me to persevere in the face of adversity, as well as to have empathy and compassion for others. Everything occurs for a reason, and no experience is wasted, I learned. I think I have a higher level of intuition than the average person.
Even if I don’t know someone very well, I can feel their soul essence. There is no such entity as a superior or inferior being. We all have the same value. The difference between us is that some of us recognise our own value, while others do not. People who understand their value strive to be the best versions of themselves. I’m giving it my all, and I want to know that you’re doing the same.
There Is A Reason For Your Suffering

Lewiscoaches tells us about the wisdom trianle support group and why it is so necessary and effective.
A Mastermind Group is a peer-to-peer mentoring group used to help members solve their problems with input and advice from the other group members.
In the process of reaching out to others, you will soon find that those also seeking to create this type of community use similar words and terms. We discussed this in a previous talk on specialized language. One of the core elements in creating an online Business support network is the shifting in specific ways of using language and sharing in a spiritually based business culture. Both language and culture are essential elements in any proactive community.

Janin Lyndovsky informs us about the test of life successfully passed.
It was late morning when I arrived at the office and started my work. From there, the day progressed well. I continued my work, joining meetings and finishing some leftover tasks before leaving the organisation. I also had plenty of catch-ups with my work colleagues who just got to know I was leaving and couldn’t believe it. Everyone wondered why I would want to leave, so I had to clarify that the company’s restructure led to this situation.
I didn’t know if George would stay in the hospital after his angiogram to have stents put in or if he would be discharged, and I needed to pick him up. Already over the weekend, he was stressing that if he got discharged from the hospital, he would need to stay with someone for 24 hours after the procedure. I had to work so how should I do it? I had no idea, but I didn’t stress about it; I just took the day hour by hour, task by task.

Annelise Lords asks the burning question, is Medium testing writer’s loyalty?
We all want to know why our earnings are decreasing. Silence’s language is not positive. Silence doesn’t speak peace. It ignites war, fear, desperation, anger, etc. Many of us are aware that mistakes are a necessary part of life. And with patience, we will get answers.
This platform has been a significant source of inspiration and healing for thousands of writers and readers, including me. It allows my imagination to grow to new heights. At first, I was angry, but I realized this is how my life goes. Changes come to test and teach me new things.
