To have a life without adversity is to live in fantasyland. Sooner or later, adversity strikes its victims when they least expect it or want it. Adversity takes many forms. It can be:·a business failure·a broken relationship·the loss of a job·a financial crisis·a health problem·an automobile accident·and hundreds and hundreds of other thingsAdversity can bring people to their knees, or it can strengthen their resolve. It can turn an otherwise humble individual into a tiger, and it can cause the strongest souls to cringe in its wake. Why the difference?Adversity is insensitive and neutral to its recipient's reactions or responses. It treats everyone the same. Each of us has the ability to reach down and grab the courage to overcome – a strength that we were not even aware we possessed. We can choose to overcome or we can choose to give in. The difference lies in a person's: character, genes, history, commitment, will, and strength of desire. Adversity can be a patient teacher or it can be a tyrant. Again, the choice is ours.As I look back over a life filled with adversity in every area, I can tell you from personal experience that I would not be who I am today had it not been for all of the challenges I have faced through the years. At the time, I resented them – each and every one of them. But today, in hindsight, they have given me the strength to carry on in the face of overwhelming odds. I don't know how my life will turn out, but I know one thing – I would not trade any of the adversity I have had to deal with for any amount of money.Tim Connor, CSP is an internationally renowned sales, relationship, management and leadership speaker, trainer and best selling author.
