5 Tips You Need To Overcome Adversity In Your Life

5. Adversity is not the enemy. It can be your friend.

Learning to overcome your greatest obstacles is all about embracing the adversity you have faced in your life, learning from it, and growing from it. Gavatorta advises that you “stop avoiding problems and instead, look at them as opportunities.”

Do not let the adversity you have faced drag you down. Instead, look at it as a building block for your future. Determine what happened, why it happened, and how you can better handle the world to face that adversity less or erase it all together. As Gavatorta points out, our culture of participation trophies isn’t helping us embrace adversity and overcome it.
