Every Headache Carries

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

Find it and Prosper

Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, but they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always the seed of good. Find it and prosper.

The Gifts

Strength, courage and wisdom are just some of the gifts you get from overcoming adversity.

Adversity comes to each of us in time. Expecting rather than dreading this adversity can make challenging periods seem less daunting and will allow you to accept that you possess the strength to conquer each obstacle as you have conquered obstacles in your past.

Obstacles You Cannot Overcome

Be confident that no matter what adversity you face, you will be strong enough to remain positive and optimistic. Knowing that there is no obstacle you cannot overcome will give you that strength.

Good Work Habits

Good work habits help develop an internal toughness and a self-confident attitude that will sustain you through every adversity and temporary discouragement.

- Paul J. Fleyer.

Adversity

It doesn't make any difference whether what you face is something that affects your work, your personal relationships, your sense of security, your appraisal of self-worth, or your appearance -- the way you think about your situation largely determines whether you will do anything about it and what you will do.
