A Quote by Rashad Evans
My mother is my hero just because, what life becomes about is overcoming adversity, and I watched her overcome so many things in life but still able to smile. See it's one thing to overcome adversity and to be scarred and to carry that with you but when you have somebody overcomes adversity and they're still able to smile that's something else. That's true strength.

I have come to know that adversity really means the things in life that challenge us and cause us to work with devotion and courage to overcome.

Therefore, in this sense adversity is good, for it produces in us a source of strength as we learn to conquer our weaknesses.

Man must be able to recover, to win out, triumph over adversity. And I don't mean just the little adversity like paying his room rent or something.

But you can bounce back - they can't completely destroy you.
Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God's most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.
