Pulling good from the bad?

Question

Has anybody had a really bad event in their life that turned into one of the best things to ever happen to them?

Answer 1

yeah that's what they call blessing in disguise. i got pregnant at an early age, i hated it because it ruined my life that's what i thought but when the baby has grown, wow..it was the best gift that was ever given to me

Answer 2

Every Bad event in life is a gift or opportunity to learn about your emotional self......Usually bringing to the surface a fear or a spectrum of thinking that is not in alignment with your true higher self or you general intention in life.....If we can accept change and recognize that our emotions towards the situation in the past will have no bearing on the situation we learn to live in the present and possibly face that fear that created that bad event in the first place......The saying I have always leaned on in Life is "The Greatest opportunities for growth always come wrapped in the crappiest of packages....if we are able to open this package (face the fear) we will regcognize we have been given a great gift " most of the time that gift is just CHANGE.....which is what we are usually afraid of b/c we have no control over the outcome b/c its new to us......if we don't accept this gift it will just repeat itself in another format

So Yes everytime something Crappy happens to me....once I get past the initial shock I almost always grow from it......I hope you do as well

Answer 3

Not exactly....but lemme share this story.

I recently went to Chicago, I had a backpack and a duffel bag on me.

I was on a local train and when I had to get out of the train, I took my duffel bag and forgot the backpack behind.( I placed the backpack on the adjacent seat).

As soon as I got out and the train door closed and the train started, that I realized that i forgot the backpack.

I had a digital camera, my check books, a huge check written on my name, clothes, etc etc .

I placed a complaint at the train authority, but no use.

3 Weeks later, I received a envolope, on my name, with NO from address. In that envolope, there is my check book and that huge check.

I felt so happy. The guy knows that he could not do anything with the check, so he mailed it back. Atleast he had the courtesy to do that. Now i dont curse the guy anymore.

I respect that.

Answer 4

Yes I broke up with a guy after three years together and it was so painful and quite a long drwn out process, we were completely obsessed with each other, but I was the only one who could see the bad side to that obsession. After we parted, I travelled to New Zealand again, my home land, I lived in Switzerland for 2 years and I felt the freedom of just being myself for the first time in ages!

Answer 5

I took getting pregnant and having a child for granted. Thought it was so easy and anybody could do it, and didn't appreciate how difficult it can be for some people and how much of a blessing it is to actually have a child. Until.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in between my two children and I nearly died from blood loss.

When I got better, I changed my life.

I realized that life was not guaranteed to be long and healthful. i realized what a blessing it was to have a child and I appreciated the one I had so much more.

So I threw myself into my daughter's life, joined a gym, lost alot of weight, revised my diet, and instantly appreciated the people I love in my life so much more then prior to that trauma.

I'd say it was a good thing.

Answer 6

Yes, of course. Walking with Christ is like that. Satan takes all the good that God gives them and uses for bad in their lives, if they fall for Satan thinking and traps. With God, he will take the sinner who confesses and follows him and make all the pain, the hurt and the bad work together for good. If a person can come to a place in their life that they are thankful for the difficult times, the painful times etc then they have arrived at a new understanding of life. God has turned everything bad in my life for good. I will live my life for him and he will never forske me. He is awesome!

Answer 7

I failed the 8th grade, and when I made it up the following year it turned out to be my favorite year at that school. Largely, I got rid of a graduating class which I was really alienated from; I remember them as the brat pack. I believe that if I had gone on to high school with them, I would have dropped out.

Answer 8

Most people would have an experience to share. It shows strength of will and develops character. Finding the good in any bad situation helps to stave off depression.

Answer 9

i have had many.... though they didnt turn out to be the best things to ever happen, the lessons that i learned from them were very important. When i was little, my parents were going to get a divorce and i felt alone because i would be constantly put in the middle of everything. my brother did his best to be there for me but he was having a hard time himself. so i was basically alone, well i felt very much alone. i became very independent and i took control of my life. i could have very much failed all of my classes at school but i didnt. i ended up making honor every quarter. i started to focus more and mroe on my school work and piano lessons than anything else. after about a three years of my parents separation, my mom found out that she had breast cancer. i was scared. i really thought that my mom was going to die. when my dad found out, my parents realized that finacially then had to stay together. that year was very tough. my mom was constantly weak and it was hard taking care of her, keeping up grades, dealing with a brother who seemed distant, and trying not to hate my dad so much. on top of all of this, i was constantly made fun of a school (junior high) so i had no one i could trust, it seemed like. now, four years later, everything is fine. i am proud to say that my parents have a strong, close relationship (divorce never went through), my brother and i are good friends, my mom is healthy, and the family is just happy (happily ever after!). from this awful experience, i learned to be independent, strong, accepting what life throws at me, and believing in myself. i gained a close friendship with my mom

Answer 10

i think anything that happens, even bad will have some good come out in the end. my most recent, had to have major surgery out of the blue, most pain i've ever felt in my recovery. mental and physical. nobody helped me like i thought/they said they would, and i was so depressed. but in my lonlieness and boredom, spent time on myspace, found one of my old friends, he ended up being there for me more than my family, now we live together and i'm happier than i ever imagined i could be. just be patient. you may not see your blessing at first, but it will come.

Answer 11

yes i have like this one time i was at a party and i got stood up sucked really bad so i found this guy their that was really atractive and we got together and the next weekend we went on a date we dated for a year straight we're not together anymore because he couldn't get over something but still that was one of the best years of my life.
