Adversity does more than build character. It changes the way we see the world.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world

adversity is a great tool to self discovery.

The dark times are there for you to grow and to create a dependency on God. This is all part of your sanctification process.

Sometimes what makes us insecure and vulnerable becomes the fuel we need to be overachievers. The antidote for a snakebite is made from the poison, and the thing that made you go backward is the same force that will push you forward.

The successful possess the courage to walk each day toward something; after coming through everything.
