Enjoy Adversity

I have come to know that bad things also happen to good people. When bad times comes, it didn't come on you because you did bad. I have study the annals of time, I discovered there is a pattern: there is a period of abundance; and the period of lack ( famine,austerity,depression,economic recession etc) tends to follow.
God created every seasons. Seasons comes and go, and come back again and go back again. Take this advice from one of the greatest manager of football team, Jose Mourinho, he said "When the difficult moment arrives, face it, don’t be affected, keep the belief and you will be fantastic."
Don't complain about the season. Adapt and conquer. No long face: chin up,square your shoulder. Tough times define you. It is how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. I love how William J. Clinton puts it " It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit."
You develop courage by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.There is no better than adversity. "Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time " so said Malcolm X.
When adversity strikes, that's when you have to be the most calm. Do the following :
Take a step back
Come up higher and have a better view.
Stay strong.
Stay grounded and press on.
Keep busy,
Plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
Character muscles are built by overcoming challenges and adversity. Everyone is handed challenges in life. No one's journey is easy. It's how they handle it that makes people quintessential.

Enjoy adversity! It is a season.
