Finding Prosperity In Your Adversity

Some of the richest lessons I have ever learnt have not necessarily been upon the mountaintops, but rather in the valleys. Valleys, deep and dark as they may be, can do one of two things to you. They can either make you or break you.

It is at your lowest point that you have a choice to either leave or learn. Choose to be instructed by your teacher called adversity.

In the natural world, some of the richest minerals are mined from the deepest mines. So when you are facing your hour, where you find yourself in the depths of some circumstances you hadn’t planned on, simply ask yourself these questions:-

1. What is the one lesson that I can learn from this experience?

2. Where is the gold?

3. What can I take from this event, and use as the cornerstone for the new life that I am about to build?

And as you come up with your answers to these questions you are going to find prosperity in your adversity. For this is the place where strength is forged, vision is birthed, and dreams are declared.

Rise up and above whatever has been seeking to bury you, and shine.
