With everything the world is going through at the moment, I have become very conscious of how incredible human beings are at becoming stronger when faced with real adversity. I suppose that’s where the quote, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” comes from. I read an article which used the analogy of how pushing through adversity is like exercising our bodies. When we want to get fitter and stronger, we push ourselves to our limits on the treadmill, on the exercise bikes, or lifting weights. We take ourselves out of our comfort zones and instead of jogging we run - faster and over longer distances. We demand more from ourselves and our bodies to cope with the hard work that needs to be done to achieve our goals. So, when we are faced with real adversity and challenging, stressful circumstances, we are forced to generate greater strength to cope. Whilst it doesn’t make the situation any easier, it does mean we can rise higher to meet it and find the necessary solutions to survive.
