Whether we like it or not, we will all face adversity in our lives.
This is something we can’t avoid. We do not live in a perfect world, we must accept the rough with the smooth.
Adversity can be too much for some people to deal with. They end up burying their head in the sand and waiting until the trouble blows over.
This is all good and well, but it doesn’t achieve anything. When you remove your head from the sand, adversity will be still be there. You will still have to face it.
We all want to become the best version of ourselves, but we cannot do that if we do not grow.
Adversity may be uncomfortable, but ask anyone who has faced it in their lives, and they will say they came out the other side a better person.
If we want to grow, we must learn to accept adversity and use it as a vehicle to grow into better people.
Lobsters and Adversity

There is a good reason why I am choosing this example.
Lobsters are interesting creatures. But, perhaps the most interesting thing about them is what they have to go through…
