Adversity Makes You Stronger

Content: Adversity makes us stronger. Every time you overcome something difficult it makes the next challenge that much easier. My biggest fear with my own children is that their lives are too easy and that they’ll have a very hard time coping with difficult things in life when they inevitably arise. I could’ve easily used any of my experiences as excuses for not achieving anything. Instead, I chose to learn from what I went through and make myself a better, stronger person. I chose to use what I observed to make better choices and build the kind of life I really wanted. And even in my darkest times, when it seemed like there were no answers to my problems, I made the choice to never take the path of least resistance. You can do the same. So choose to not to be a product of your environment, but rather a product of your desires. While I can’t promise you that it will be easy (it most certainly won’t), I can promise you that it’ll be worth it.
