When we have everything in life, family, love, a home, employment and friends, we are content, and we do not strive to do better. When I say everything, I am not referring to great wealth and luxuries, but the basic things needed to be happy and peaceful. We get into a comfortable space, and silently enjoy a boring, humdrum existence. We like things the way that they are, and we do not want to change anything in life.

However, when there is heartbreak, in a form of a relationship that ends, a family member or friend passes away, there is a tragedy, or there is loss of employment or circumstances and the dynamic change at home or at work, when you are overlooked for that promotion, which you wanted.

These heartbreaks both great and small, make an impact on us and our lives. There is an unmistakable pain that we feel inside us, after being heartbroken by some loss in life. I feel that heartbreaks, whether romantic, or career related or family and home connected, they do help us to evolve as a person. Over the course of time, the effects of these heartbreaks help us to cope better as individuals, as the years go by. We are more accustomed to face and manages challenges in life. The best way to develop a resilient personality, is by learning to adjust to changes in life.

The minute we get a bit too cocky, life has a way of teaching us a few lessons, in the form of heartbreaks, that enable us to develop stronger personalities. Have you had any heartbreaks in life, that you have not been able to overcome, or that have helped you to stay humble and confident?
