Everyone has
or will experience adversity at some point in their lives. Adversity is
part of life and accepting it will help us better prepare for it and
overcome it. How we deal with it depends on a myriad of aspects.
Our sense of
self and the strength of our internal resources - determination,
resilience and persistence as well as the external resources in terms of
our support system of family and friends all play a part. There are
learning opportunities in every adverse situation. Depending on how we
choose to perceive adversity, can significantly alter the outcome.
