Adversity: inspiration to a better life!

Adversity can be a huge stopping block, notice I said stopping and not stumbling. Adversity can cause us to come to a complete stop! It shouldn’t. We can use adversity, hardships, whatever you want to call it, to inspire us to greater heights!

There are so many stories of people who have used adversity to go on to greatness. One story that I heard recently is about Douglas Bader. He was a pilot before the second world war. He lost both legs in a crash. Most people would think that would be the end of his flying career, but that was not the case. During the war, he rejoined the RAF and became a renowned pilot! He did not let his adversity stop him, but used it to motivate him, to inspire him to greater accomplishments!

What adversity do you have in your life that you can use as inspiration for bringing you a better life? There are many techniques in the self help world, but if you can’t use your own adversity to help yourself, who do you think is going to? Dig down into your life and find that motivation to help yourself. Look at your life and find that inspiration. Then do what you have to do to change your life. If you don’t, who will?
Here’s to You!
