All throughout our lives we come face to face with adversity. At times the troubles are caused by our own actions, our lack of knowledge or focus. Other times it is presented to us out of the blue because of events brought to us by other people. When adversity knocks at the door, do not invite it in but step forward to learn how to deal with it, gaining wisdom whilst doing so. Then a lesson will be gained, difficulties dealt with and adversity then becomes one of our greatest teachers.
