When we go through adversity and loss, we learn more about who we are and how capable, resilient, and resourceful we are. Even when things are really bad, maybe just getting out of bed the next day is a win.
As chaotic as a loss or adversity can be in our lives, there is an opportunity during these times to gain experience and learn more about ourselves and what we are made of. Living a comfortable life without any stress isn’t going to teach us how to overcome or how to be disciplined. It isn’t going to teach us how to cope, deal and get through things. It isn’t going to teach us how to love more, have compassion and understand how to discern things better.
For me, hitting rock bottom in an abyss of adversity taught me so many lessons and I am grateful for each and every one of them. I know I never would have gained more wisdom if I hadn’t gone through them. What have you learned in your times of adversity and loss?
