What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
After reading several books about the Navy SEALs and other special forces one of my biggest take aways was the idea of adversity being a good thing.
They go through elaborate training scenarios that are designed to purposefully create adversity for the trainees.
This process creates stronger graduates from the training programs.
The graduates end up with an attitude of “Well, if I made it through that, I can do this next thing too.”
It’s really not that hard to set up a comfortable life.
But in the end, we must not seek comfort. We were built to grow and change and love. In order to grow and change and love we are going to be faced with adversity.
And in the end we will be better off for it.
Make it a great day.
