"And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in." Haruka Murakami

Once your 'worst case scenario' has kicked you in the teeth, you start to see that this is exactly what you have been trying to avoid your entire life. 

Therefore, you have to know that you projected the thought/energy to the Universe. You created the storm. What you think you become. If you focus on your fears, you are giving them energy and creating precisely what you hoped would never happen. And now it has happened. It is a lesson that resulted in the awareness that your thoughts are creating your reality. Once you realize this, you are on your way.

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender. That is strength." 

Finally, you have come through the storm, you have survived. This is a blessing. When someone asks you how you did it, you find that you can't explain, in fact, you have no idea. You just took each day as it came, put one foot in front of the other and kept going. But it seems that everything is different, everything has changed. The fact is YOU have changed and you will never be the same.  

Change is the result of all learning.
