“As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people.”—Joseph B. Wirthlin
Some prefer to say that adversity reveals character. Personally, I think it is a little bit of both. There is no doubt that character needs adversity. I refer to this as the “overload principle” (physiologically, in order for a body system to adapt, it must be challenged to a level greater than that to which it is accustomed). For growth (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and/or Social) there needs to be a challenge to the status quo.
Embrace the hard. Be uncomfortable. Challenge your limits. Grow!
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
