ON FACING ADVERSITY

All successful achievements are simply a long series of small adversities which must be overcome.  It is not unusual to face adversity, in fact it is quite common, and it is our job to overcome it.

The real test is not when we are successful when there is no adversity, but when there is adversity and we triumph over it.  When we face these challenges and position them so that we feel we have no alternative, that there can be no excuses, we can accomplish the impossible.
