Adversity Perspective

Many of the people who fail didn’t see adversity for what it really is.

Success in life depends on being strong people with clear goals and unstoppable spirit. Unfortunately most of us aren’t born that way. We grow that way. And that growth can either come from us entering willfully into situations that will cause us to grow or from the way we react when circumstances come upon us without our consent. The latter is what we call adversity. Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid adversity, and I guess that is just as well. We shouldn’t pursue adversity, but when it arrives, we should welcome it as a enemy who, though our interaction with it, will make us into better people. Every contact we have with adversity gives us again the opportunity to grow personally and professionally and to forge our character into one that will achieve much later on.  With that in mind, here are some thoughts on adversity, and how it can help you to succeed in every area of your life and achieve your dreams. So when adversity comes, and it will come, be sure you look at it from the right perspective. Use adversity to make you stronger and better, not mean and bitter. How do you look at adversity today?
