Overcoming Adversity Challenges

Because of the challenges in my life--my parents divorce, my fathers cease of contact, and my development of dystonia--I have learned to take the high road in the face of adversity. Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or because I don't want to walk around angry, or maybe it's because I finally understand. There are things I don't want to happen but have to accept, things I don't want to know but have to learn, and people I don't want to live without but have to let go. I am thankful for every adversity I have had in my life. They were difficult to get through but because I have faced them I am a more kind and compassionate individual who has a more complete understanding of the human condition.
