The Mountain of Adversity

How do you expect to get anywhere in life without going through the struggle to get there?

3 Levels of Adversity (Mountain)
Quitters- Abandon the climb. "It's too hard. Look how high it is."

Campers- Start a difficult task and don't finish. They start climbing up the mountain and as it gets difficult they just camp out. This becomes their home. Living in mediocrity.

Climbers- Keep moving in spite of obstacles. Are willing to face adversity and keep climbing. Climbers grow from their challenges and realize that adversity builds Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

Campers see change as a problem and Climbers see change as an opportunity.

"Success is not a destination; it is a journey." ~Willie Jolley

Quote of the month: "Most of life's failures are those people who didn't realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
