Motivational Monday: On Adversity

Sometimes life throws us curve balls that just seem impossible to hit. We get sad and upset when we feel helpless and really want to simply quit. Adversity and trials are a major part of life, how we handle it is a huge determinate to whether or not we are becoming who we wish we could be.

When adversity comes from people in your life, you have to always remember not to give them your power. Stand tall and hold your ground because they might be going through something worse than what they are bringing to you and their attitude might just be a cry for help.

When adversity comes from situations, keep moving and don't quit. Those situations are a temporary speed bump in your life's plans.

So, today on this Motivational Monday, I dedicate this quote to all of those who have, are, or will go through adversity.

"Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are."
