We all know with the economy the way it is that times are tough. It has become a phrase that is a permanent part of our language. I believe it is also a phrase that prevents us from climbing out of a negative situation. We are focusing on a tough economy, rather than answers and solutions.
I have found that what you give attention to GROWS. The only way to move through adversity is to maintain a strong, positive attitude, regardless of anything else. A positive attitude can be as strong as steel. It will consistently lead you to the answers and solutions one needs to move through changing situations. In my FREE E-BOOK chapter 5 teaches you about positive mind control and believe all things are possible.
We have clearly been conditioned to believe that adversity is negative. When really they are positive situation and can lead to more happiness. When adversity hits we find our strength and character. We are forced to get on top of the situation and not lie down under them. Adversity reminds us that we are stronger than we could ever imagine which bring us happiness within.
There is a quote b y Deng Ming-Dao that sums it up, “Without the difficulty of being hemmed in, the tree in the forest would not be forced to marshal its power to grow toward the light. It must truly bring forth all its inner strength to spread its branches. If it becomes grand, it is in part because of its suffering. Thus the times of adversity can be crucial to the development of one’s inner personality.”
I feel very blessed by the adversity I have had in my life, because without it I clearly would not be who I am today. I have truly found my happiness within through the hardships I have been through. That is why I wrote my free e-book you can pick up at the bottom of this post, What you can do to be HAPPY right now in 8 simple steps. These hard times just reminds me that I have to buckle down and get back to basics and this brings me happiness within, because I know I can do this instantly. I’ve been there, as they say, “I have the T-shirt.”
Take for example the boys from the Columbine shooting. They were privilege children. Pretty much had everything that money could and did buy them. Then when they faced adversity with their piers they folded. Now if they had been taught to overcome adversity and become stronger this tragedy my never have taken place.
Robert Schuller says, “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” Your attitude creates the conditions that come into your life. Choose to be happy, relax and be positive, regardless of what is going on around you. What is important is you and your happiness. Don’t let the world rain on your parade. As you learn to overcome adversity and become stronger, teach your children too. This is a very important step for them to learn and they are going to see how you use adversity to become greater and build your character.
Adversity is like a storm. You find shelter and stay safe whether its rain, lighting, hail or snow. You know how to whether the storm. People who live in California learn how to survive earthquakes better than most, people who live in areas where hurricanes hit learn to survive hurricanes and people who live where tornadoes hit learn to survive them. Adversity can hit any time or place, think positive and grow stronger because of it. Don’t let it steal your happiness within from you.
