Random Thoughts on Adversities

Random Thoughts on AdversitiesAdversities afflict us in all forms and ways, and most of them are inevitable. How I wish that it would be easier to dismiss or postpone them when they come, least expected. Was Abraham Lincoln right when he said , “Nearly all men can stand adversity,…?” Probably, only a few; for many of us fail. We succumb.

Adversities can be overcome. A person with a positive disposition, will power, character, and patience can. People with positive attitude see ugly and difficult situations in the lens of a half-filled glass; hence they find opportunities in crisis and problems. Those with strong will power and patience endure adversities without giving-up hope. And those with character take adversities as life’s way on inculcating valuable lessons.

I’d like to have all.

How about you?
