Growth in Adversity


Throughout this New York winter, I've been growing tomatoes indoors and decided to post some photos of them. The above photo I had titled Growth in Adversity and it inspired me to write a quick little encouraging post:

Often, we shy away from adversity due to fears of pain and failure. But many times, as Tai Lopez had recently tweeted, the fear of losing is usually worse than actually losing.


Through adversity, we learn and grow. If you fail, you have now just learned what doesn't work. Use that information and apply it to your next attempt. Just as Thomas A. Edison had said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

However, when we choose not to try in our fear of failure, you are automatically choosing to fail.

“Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be.”

– John Wooden

“Giving up is the only sure way to fail.”

- Gena Showalter

By acting on fear and avoiding adversity, you can end up missing out
on some of the best opportunities in your life. Just as I would have missed out on some delicious home grown tomatoes if I had chosen to let the cold winter stop me. Embrace adversity and adapt to changes. You may not be able to get rid of your fears, but you can choose to overcome them.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." - Ambrose Redmoon

  2. Sometimes life is so unfair and has a lot of challenges to take but it doesn't
    mean it is already the end of the world. We struggle and experienced those things
    for us to become strong, aware, and responsible of our actions. Thanks for
    sharing such a wonderful story.I hope that you can inspire more people.

  3. Can I simply say what a relief to search out somebody who truly is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You definitely know the right way to deliver an issue to gentle and make it important. More people must learn this and perceive this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more in style because you undoubtedly have the gift. online gambling casino
