“When you're playing as a true freshman, you just got to play the next play if you make a mistake. You just have to keep going and play through adversity.”

Keeping it real" isn't just a matter of facing up to harsh facts. It also includes opening up to the plethora of possibilities that offer us ways of impacting the world in spite of adversity.

Life must be lived at the right time. Death is not scary when one dies after having lived fully. One must choose to live though and face all adversities.

“Although our overall results were adversely affected by difficult markets, we recorded strong growth in our loan book and produced record interest income and fee income.”

In times of adversity, you will realize who is there for you. The struggle is real and those who walk with you with love, are honorable true friends. Be thankful for the friends and loved ones you’ve got.

“Based on recent adverse findings for performance-enhancing substances and the subsequent allegations of trafficking in these substances, I feel that it is necessary to commission a wide-ranging inquiry to examine all the details of the allegations.”

Trust is not a passive state of mind. It is a vigorous act of the soul by which we choose to lay hold on the promises of God and cling to them despite the adversity that at times seeks to overwhelms us.

All we have to do is ask and believe that God will work on our behalf and give us what we need to overcome and rise above the adversities and stress that we are facing.

Those who suffer great adversity and sorrow and go on to serve their fellowmen develop a great capacity to understand others. Like the prophets, they have acquired a higher understanding of the mind and will of Christ.

I believe in times of adversity there’s a line that is sometimes drawn, a line that separates your old life from your new. You cross the line, you’ll never be the same.
