It just seems that I've heard so much speculation that in the pre-existence we had a hand in choosing our mortal trials. It seems that I've heard so much talk surrounding this but cannot find any documentation, scriptural or otherwise for any type of a discussion.

I have heard lots of talk over the years that many believe we chose our earthly trials and challenges while still in the pre-existance. This belief, for me, would make facing my trials easier, but I cannot find any documentation, scripturally or from any general authority stating that this indeed is the case. Does anyone know if there is any documentation surrounding this topic?
