ADVERSITY TOUCH-UP

I was told, by a football coach, a long time ago that adversity introduces a man to himself. When things are toughest, you find out who you really are, and what you most need to change.

Many people are willing to give to others when there's money to spare. But when there's hardly enough to go around, you learn just how generous you're really willing to be.
Nearly everyone is charming and upbeat when things are going their way. But how you treat others on your worst days tells you more about who you really are.
When you face adversity, you get a good look at you. More often than not, you see something that could use a little touch-up.

Look at the adversity you're facing today — or look back on a past episode — and ask yourself: What does this experience teach me about me? How can I better myself through this situation?

Paul said in Romans 5:4-5 that suffering teaches perseverance and perseverance builds character. So, don't waste a single struggle. In the midst of difficulty, seize the opportunity to find out who you are and develop or deepen your character. In so doing, discover what you need to be a little less of, and what you need to be a little more of.
