The Adversity Advantage

One thing that I’ve learned
from watching
The Voice
is that everyone has
a hard luck story.
Every single contestant
talks about overcoming
adversity.

Because we all have
adversity in our background.
That’s part of life.

I grew up dirt poor
(we didn’t eat every day).
I had a learning disability.
My father was abusive
to… well… everyone.

I credit my toughness,
my persistence
to that background.
It was an advantage,
not a disadvantage.

Darren Hardy,
founder of
SUCCESS magazine,
shares

“Your adversity
is your advantage.
Going through abandonment issues
is the reason
I’m vigorously self reliant,
self motivated,
goal oriented,
and results driven.”

Do you have adversity
in your background?
Good.
It will help you succeed.
