They are Friends :)

Can we resent a treadmill, a cross trainer or weights because they make us uncomfortable, make us work hard and push our boundaries. No, because we know these machines are actually helping us in building our physical health. This discomfort is an opportunity to increase well being and strength of the body.
Then why should we feel bad about challenging situations and difficult people. They are the exercising machines for our soul. They give us opportunity to improve our emotional and spiritual health. Actually, they are the pointers to the weak spots, where we truly need work. Therefore, their benefit is two fold, you can see where you are lacking and then they give you chance to gain strength exactly where needed.
So why to run away. Lets embrace our difficulties and make them friends as this is what they truly are.
