“You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you” – Mary Tyler Moore
Contrary to what you might think, adversity is one of the greatest growth opportunities you can receive. In its own way, it is a gift. It will teach you how to fall apart and come back together. It will give you the tools to pick yourself up when you are down. It will show you to hope, believe, and dream…and it will prepare you to soar even higher than you did before.
Journeying through adversity teaches you to move beyond survival and thriving. It demonstrates that love and and passion and a relentless pursuit of good is your birthright. Adversity grants you the ability to shine your light outward for those around you to receive.
