“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”

• Joseph Campbell

Adversity is a great teacher. The problem is most of us do our best to avoid it or numb ourselves when it shows up. 

Embracing the pain of adversity and digging deep to find solutions is where the bulk of growth comes from. 

When we avoid these situations, we’re literally missing out on what can propel us to greatness.

Being aware of this fact is the first step towards approaching life’s difficulties in a different way.

If we know wholeheartedly that this is where the growth happens, we can be appreciative the next time we run into obstacles.
