Growth Through Adversity
A young professional woman with several years of sobriety was treated very shabbily in her application for a position because of her history of addiction. She stated, I really don't have any resentments against this person, because he did me a great favor. I've survived this ordeal, and the next one I encounter will be just a piece of pie. Adversities are not pleasant, but life is full of them. We cannot escape them, and we need strength to cope effectively. We need not love people who have mistreated us, but surviving one ordeal strengthens us and prepares us for the difficulties that are inevitable in life.
