It simply means that when you face your deepest fears as manifested in your experience, you cannot help but come out of these experiences much stronger and uplifted. If you are in crisis, or feel scared by a past crisis, do not look at yourself as a victim of circumstance. Rather, choose to look for the opportunities for growth that are presenting themselves to you. You are the creator of your own experience, and nothing can come to you unless you have one some level requested the experience or event. The moment you cease seeing yourself as a victim of circumstance, but as the creator of your experience, you become empowered not only to understand the gift in the event, but also empowered to create the changes your were already looking for on a deeper level.
Crisis creates change.
Often, when you are feeling the need for change, but do not know how to create it, a crisis will come along to encourage you to take action. Crisis cannot be ignored, so they are effective in their intention to help, uplift and illumine the individual they visit. Through using and acting upon your intuitive feelings, you can prevent crisis from visiting your life. Looking back on crisis, most people can see how they were already asking for change, but did not know how to create them. Crisis then came along and helped them to create those needed changes.
