The Blessing of Adversity

If you’re having a hard time, that’s probably a good thing.

No one accomplished anything great in life by following the easy path. Trials, struggles, disagreement, depression, stress, and hard times are all part of any journey worth pursuing. Some of it may be due to our own poor decisions, but others may not.

In hindsight though, I am always grateful for my life’s experiences as they’ve made me who I am today. These experiences give me valuable perspectives that I would never have without the struggle.

Hard to acknowledge these feelings in the moment — easier to acknowledge after-the-fact.
