“What a roller-coaster ride. We seemingly had the game under control, but almost gave it away. But I have to give the team credit. They never quit. In the past two games, we were forced to sit out some key players due to injury, illness and card problems. I am very proud of the way the team bounced back from all that adversity.”
“One of the things which gets overlooked with this age group is that coaches have to be not only a coach on the ice, but also a life mentor. Our kids are 15-17 and they're in such development as a person. You have to deal with them emotionally ? it might be their first time away from home, or their first girlfriend. You have to teach them how to get through adversity, and how to be a young man.”
Strive through your adversities with a tenacious mindset and a sincere heart and there shall surely be a great end when you get to the end unrelentingly. You shall surely leave a noble mark when you endure to the end and you shall surely smile in the end and ponder over how the journey to the end was. Note; there is no sweet fruit that is not the product of the dirty soil. No matter what, keep moving on!
I once heard this saying that God keeps breaking your heart until it opens. And ain't that the truth. Think about it. Every struggle, every challenge, every adversity brings you closer to your heart, to your true self, to who you really are. Sometimes you got to be broken down to the point where you feel powerless to discover your ultimate and true power.
“Our team really hasn't faced much adversity at all this year, especially in the second half. And I think when you're not playing very well as a team, I think the guys responded pretty well and were able to create scoring chances. They kept at it in a tough rink to play in, and we got the tying goal and we were able to end up winning the game.”
We as human beings appear to be in the most adverse stages in our evolution. How can the Mother Earth survive when the souls of Her sons are tainted with avarice, and the very minds which shape Her fate are dominated by ego? Minds that are prone to paranoia and can no longer trust its brothers. Humanity is at a crossroads. A crossroads which speaks of either profound change or ultimate destruction.
Pride adversely affects all our relationships—our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind. Our degree of pride determines how we treat our God and our brothers and sisters. Christ wants to lift us to where He is. Do we desire to do the same for others?
Every great accomplishment has its share of struggle, adversity and pain. Great achievement can not exist without them. To achieve true success in our relationships and in our careers we need to be prepared to push through some pretty tough stuff. On the other side of that pain awaits an intrinsic reward that is worth so much more than anything you can ever imagine.
Acharya Balkrishna" on the Origin of Yog and its Greatness"Standing upright facing all storms and tempests like Devalaya, Yog too is like a monument, established like saints and sages, reaching where all the trials and turbulences cease. Even adversities strengthen the bricks and a stone of this temple – such is the power of Yog. The same way, the evasive flow of time might seldom limit the greatness of Yog and Yogis.
“Inflation for August was 0.1 per cent a welcome reduction from the previous months. While increases in bus fares and oil-related increases are likely to have a negative impact in September, assuming we have no adverse weather events, food prices are likely to fall as supply increases. The trend, therefore, should be for the inflation rate to return to lower levels.This should have a positive effect on inflation expectations.”
