Adversity makes or breaks us. It's our choice. Whether or not the circumstances that beset us are forged by our own hard, or not, we have a choice.

Most often, we do not see the benefit of trial until some point in the future. The space in between we go through feedings of persecution, anger, and despair.

At some point, once we have acclimated to the pain, we set about firing a new normal. Reestablishing a healthier state where we once again take care of the everyday, the mundane. And as the days pass, we once again begin to plan, to aspire, and to grow.

With introspection and time, the healing becomes growth. And growth propels us forward to new happiness and prosperity.

It's a process. It can be gut-wrenching. But it is the way of life.

Peace be with you all.
