The Blessing of Adversity
Join Beverly Nadler to discover the blessings of adversity. With knowledge and understanding, instead of feeling resentment and fear, you allow, accept, and even appreciate adversity. When you do, your entire life can be transformed.
"One may not reach the dawn, save by the path of the night." Kahil Gibran
We would all love life to run smoothly with no complications, no traumas. But you have probably noticed that this is not the way life works.
Our world is governed by Universal Laws, and two of them, The Laws of Polarity and Rhythm, assure us that life has both sides. Having a positive attitude (which we should all cultivate) does not mean that nothing undesired will ever happen to us; it helps you handle adversity and allows you to come through it with less pain.
The anonymous quote, "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it," is true. Many people who suffered serious loss or health challenges have said they would never want to "trade" those experiences for more pleasant ones -- for they learned so much and experienced soul growth and inner transformations.
