How to Triumph Over Adversity

Many people go through hard times in their lives. I for one have been through many hard times and am still going through hard times. However, it is up to you how you deal with those hard times. If you collapse into a heap and wollow in self pity that problem is still going to exist. If you cry for days and never do anything and sleep because you are depressed what you have been through is still going to be something that has happened. Therefore, the most logical thing to do is let that thing make you instead of break you.

For example, Maya Angelou the best selling author went through hell as a child. She was abused, raped, suffered poverty and racism but instead of allowing that to break her she made a career out of writing her life story. She made a career out of the words she thought, out the adversity came triumph. Another example is Iyanla Vanzant, she went through abusive relationships, was a single mother on welfare for years and she turned her life around with her writing. There are so many other stories I could mention, however the point I am making here is that you can either let adversity get to you so much that you ruin your life, or you could allow it to drive you to create an amazing future for yourself and your family.

The only way you can use adversity as a driving force is to allow it to. Believe in yourself and believe in your own strength. At the end of the day, whatever does not kill you is only going to make your stronger right? So work hard to gain strength from the pain. Draw strength from the courage that you have used to get through the pain. It can be hard, it is hard, I know this as I have experienced a lot of pain. However believe in your heart that from the pain comes pleasure. Why do you think, rainbows exist? Because after the rain it is possible for sunshine to appear. After the rain it is possible to see a brighter tomorrow. So, strive for the brighter tomorrow and make your life a better one from the pain you have experienced.
