It’s what we do with it that counts.

Blow it or put it to work.

That’s a healthy way of looking at adversity.

Almost no one’s successful career got to where it is without turbulence along the way.

Often a bitter divorce leads to a happier future marriage if lessons are learned and appreciation becomes important. But you can’t tell this to a person going through it. Hang on, out of bad comes good.

Bad luck is the new good luck.

Almost no one who wins big lottery jackpots has money left when the payments stop. How can so many people (confirmed through many studies) make so little out of so much? That’s not good luck.

Adversity is certainly not pleasant, but it has its advantages when fate requires you to confront it.

Adversity makes us dig deeper into what’s really important, what we really want, the person we want to be, the kind if people we want in our lives.

When adversity strikes it may just be the thing that strengthens you and paves the way for a more favorable outcome.

Remember that potential favorable outcome as soon as bad things happen and your journey will be less painful.
