It helps mold you into who you
become. You are compelled by adversity to be either your best version or your
worst version. And, if you have a clear vision of your destination, adversity
builds the character required to be that best version.
2. Adversity Teaches Self
Control.
When facing adversity, every
decision counts. You snooze, you lose. And some losses can set you back
permanently. Adversity thus teaches you to understand that life happens, but
what is most important is how you respond to it. And it all boils down to
self-control.
3. Adversity Teaches Wisdom.
Nothing dispels foolishness and
imbues you with wisdom like adversity. It pulls the wool off your eyes and
helps you see the world as it truly is. The Street wise man is that man who has
graduated cum-laude from the school of hard knocks.
4. Adversity Builds Self
Confidence.
Adversity is like training. The
more practice you have the better you become at handling it. It helps you
conquer your fears and makes you confident in your ability.
5. Adversity Creates Resilience.
Because the option of giving up
is not palatable, adversity compels you to be resilient.
6. Adversity aids self-discovery.
Most successful entrepreneurs and
successful artists today are successful not in spite of adversity but because
of adversity.
7. Adversity prepares you for
greatness.
No school or family, or
organization prepares you for greatness as much as adversity. It helps you have
a deep understanding of life and humans, and positions you to leverage your
experience for greatness.
So, if you're presently going
through adversity, remember, rough roads lead to beautiful destinations. Learn
all there is to learn because they will be required when you get to your place
of prosperity.
