Topic: Overcoming Adversity

Overcoming adversity means we have taken charge of our life. Overcoming adversity does not mean we have made the adversity go away. Overcoming adversity may mean we learn to be flexible in dealing with a part of our life we cannot change. Overcoming adversity may mean we learn to adapt to a reality we may not like. Overcoming adversity may mean instead of trying to change an unchangeable adversity, we learn to live with the adversity as if the adversity did not exist. Overcoming adversity may mean we have to change who we are on the inside or change our inner self. Overcoming adversity may mean we have to grow up and accept responsibility for our life, accept responsibility for who we are, and accept responsibility for what becomes of us in the future. Overcoming adversity may mean we have to burn up our ego and our selfishness, because in adversity, we often find we cannot have our own way.
