You Can Do It

There will come a time in your life when you will face adversity. You may feel like the whole world is against you. You may struggle with doing the right thing versus doing the wrong thing. To overcome adversity you first have to stop and breathe. Next remember that adversity is just another challenge waiting to be conquered. Finally, know that no matter what happens you already won because you did not back down. You faced adversity head on, looked it straight in the eyes, and told it you can not beat me. You already won.
