How to handle adversity inlife

Well, the most important thing is to "normalize" what they are feeling. Let them know that everyone feels that way at some point in their life, and that they aren't alone. I remember I had a friend in college and her and her husband had a baby who was born with a heart defect and only lived until she was 6 months old, but if you ever asked them about it, they would smile and tell you that she was an angel sent to repair their troubled marriage. That it taught them what was really important in life and that without her presence, they would have been a split family for their second baby who is a happy and healthy 2-year-old.

Sometimes adversity in life happens for a reason that you can't see while you are in the midst of it, but later in life good things happen as a direct or indirect result of that adversity. If you didn't lose your job, you might stay somewhere because it's comfortable and miss out on a great opportunity. If you didn't go through that horrible breakup, then you might not have met the right person, etc.

Just keep a good attitude and remember brighter things are on the horizon. If they have been through something like a death or a disease, join a support group. Being with others dealing with the same thing is extremely comforting.

Know that you are strong, and can over come anything in your life.

take what life is giving you as a reason to be better and ask more out of life and change your life around.

nothing will be more rewarding in life then turning your own life around and handing all the adversity that life could throw you.

there is the old saying

if life gives you lemons, make lemonade

I am mr Adversity. The way I learn to deal with adversity is first of I needed to except that I am just fine whereever I am and that if someone else thinks this is not so,they are the ones that are having problems with who they are. You see The desire to do better is the best indication that you are not identified with the adversity in your life. If life gets you down it is because you believe if circumstances change you would too. This is not true because when they do. you will fine another reason for not excepting yourself. Just stop and think the last time adversity reared it's ugly head and went away did it stop then? no and it never will. " A wildthing never feel sorry for itself" JUst except life is never just right and that is just a fantasy, myth or big fat Lie. Contentment is as close to Happiness we will ever get.
