This story demonstrates that we can't do anything about the situation but we can change the way we see it.

Dealing...
How we deal with adversity tells ourselves & others a lot about us. Nitima does a great job explaining this in her short story here. Do we let adversity harden us? Do we let it make mash us? Or do we adapt to it and actually affect it? The Choice is ours to make... โค๏ธโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ€

Perception
Wow! What a wonderful story! In times of adversity, what am I? Looking back, I would say that I was an egg when adversity would strike. The adverse situation would harden me. I thought this was how to successfully overcome adversity, but after meditating for many months now and opening myself to new ideas, I am understanding that I do not need to change who I am in the face of adversity. Rather, I have the power within myself to change my perception of what is going on. Quite the concept! There is always a positive, a lesson to be learned in all situations in life. We just need to find our power within and change our perception! Namaste โค๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

I remember listening to this great story before, though I cannot find a reflection upon it! I need to temper my reactions to adversity better than I do. My coping skills, never terribly strong before are shot after my massive stroke. Today was a good example of this. Overloaded, I struggled through to the afternoon. I managed to accomplish all the tasks I set myself, made my appointments, helped my wife and son head off to a special movie screening about 3 hours south (his present for his upcoming 18th birthday!) But I'm wiped out! Just need to get my daughters fed and my eldest over to make her evening class at the college tonight. Then, as my therapist told me to do: Rest and relax until the wife and son get home late this evening.

Challenge
Whenever Iโ€™m head to head with adversity I look at it as a problem instead of a challenge. I enjoyed this visual representation of how various people handle adversity because the truth is everyone faces unwanted situations on their lifetime. However, not everyone learns how to effectively handle their reactions. Great session. Very eye opening.

Life is challenge
We should be patient ,no matter how many trouble we face and how miserable our life is, we should keep fighting cause in the end we will find happiness even if itโ€™s far weโ€™ll reach it.

When faces with adversity, do not allow it to change you but take that adversity and change it into something! I try to say, what is this teaching me?

Reactions
Change and uncertainty are going to happen irregardless if I want them to or not. Even if I plan ahead as much as I can to feel like Iโ€™m in control. I need to remind myself that it is how I react to each uncertain thought, situation, or even plain anxiety... is what matters. Instead of becoming crippled by fear or anxiety, I need to work on my reactions mentally.

I can never hear this story too many times. We all face adversity but do we allow it to make us soft or hard? Or do we take that adversity and use it to make something enjoyable

Your reaction matters more than what happens to you
