Our whole world are filled with extraordinary people, people who are considered heroes, fighters, over comers and people just like you, a survivor. Are you one of those who has survived something you were not supposed to? If so you have probably made it through your ordeal only to find that you have come out a much stronger person than what you used to be.

This is normally the case for most people who have survived something very traumatic like an accident or an illness. Sometimes it takes people to believe that perhaps they are going to die, in order for their inner strength to develop. Most people seem to believe it is because of what they have gone through that they have become a much stronger but couldn't it be that it was within you always?

Growing stronger after an illness or accident seem to happen for both women and men equally but there are one certain type of survivors who seem to surpass all other survivors and that is women surviving spousal abuse and who are able to break away from their marriage with their life intact. A woman who has for years been the victim of abuse have generally lost all her feeling of self worth and has no will of her own after years of being brain washed.

Being in a life threatening situation with such a frame of mind takes nothing short of a miracle to be able to get out of. The strength which has to come from within, in this case, has to be beyond any ones comprehension. Every survivor's story is unique and special but the accomplishments of battered women have to be among the highest on the "list".

People who face long term illnesses have to go through several stages in their fight. These stages normally start with disbelief which then turns into anger and despair. It normally takes the person to hit rock bottom before they find their strength to start fighting for their life. This rock bottom is were people either accept that they are going to die or they flat out refuse to accept it and start fighting with all they have in order to stay alive.

Accident victims normally have no warning that their life is in jeopardy and are therefore not prepared for what is about to happen to them. Survivors of horrific accidents are nothing but living miracles. What actually keeps them alive despite claims from doctors saying there is no way anyone could have made it through such an accident.

To all your survivors out there, put your fortune to good and use it to inspire others who find themselves in a similar situation you once faced. Perhaps with your help they can become survivors too.
