Do you believe that we face the toughest period of our life before the best one arrives?

It is difficult to provide a Yes/No answer to this question.
We know about Oasis, a fertile spot in a desert, where water is found. While wandering in the desert thirsty we will feel like being in heaven once you see an Oasis. On the other hand if you are in a rain forest on a pleasure trip and you come across a river you may not be as happy when compared.
It is the thirst and the rough terrain that create this feeling.
The same applies to how we perceive success in life.

When we face adversity in life we somehow want to get over it. When we overcome the situation we feel it is the biggest achievement ever. It is the struggle which we went through in achieving it that gives it this aura. In contrast if we had achieved the same without any trouble we may not always feel it as the best one; we perceive it as just another achievement .
Hence ‘we face the most difficult period of our lives before the best times arrive’ may not be factually true . But the hard ship we faced gives us this perception.
(But I too believe that the best days awaits me once the bad days are over. It helps me move forward.)
