Life Change: adversity leads the way.

Adversity

This week I am going to do a few posts on adversity and what that does to us and for us. We all think that adversity is something that we should avoid at all costs and that is mostly true. We should avoid adversity, but perhaps not at all costs. Why? Adversity is our most effective teacher, it can bring about life change like nothing else!

Think back in your memories and notice how many are of hard times and how many are of good times. Most of us remember more hard times than good. Why? Because we learned something or we became stronger. We overcame the adversity and in our overcoming, we grew. Our lives changed because of the things we had to deal with. Think of the stories you like to tell. People love to tell stories of the hard times.

Now this does not mean that we should go out and purposely seek hard times! Only a fool would do that, but, when they come, we can see adversities as what they are, chances to grow and to learn. The road to a better life is often paved with stones of adversity.

One of the Principles is that hardships happen, but we always have a choice. This is exactly what that principle is about. When hard times come, what do you do? Do you whine and complain all the way through, or do you quickly move on to see the challenge for what it is; a chance to grow, a chance to change?

Here’s to You!
