Adversity: How to overcome adversity to create a life you can be proud of

by Thomas Sanchez

What do you do when the inevitable adversity enters your life? A difficult situation, some bad news, you lose the job, the medical report reflects bad news. Maybe something negative or unanticipated happens, Leaving you asking yourself, "oh my gosh, what do I do?" When that adversity strikes, rather than seeing it as some terrible moment, perhaps perceive it as a called moment; a moment in which you are being asked to rise, a moment in which you're being challenged and brought to task to be able to summon more empathy, more love, more caring, more strength, more ambition, and more go-to-it-ness. The struggle is something to be honored because it's going to forge a greater capacity and character later on. So, honor it. Don't hate it, because anything that you direct negative energy toward quickly amplifies into flames of fury. instead have patience with it, see it, and recognize it as a necessary thing at this time of your life. Even if you don't want it, that's why it's been put there. Adopt the mentality that says, "Okay, I'm meant to deal with this now. I didn't want to but here it is. So how do I keep my confidence? what can I remind myself about perspective? How can I take some actions today? How can I ask for more help?" and make sure to honor this entire process. If you do that, you will survive this adversity. You might thrive through it. but no matter what, it will put you on that other end where you start to create a life you can be proud of.
