Hard times are a crucible that reveal a person's true character.
When adversity strikes, it can bring out the best in us, or it can reveal the worst. Personally, I am a big fan of making lemonade out of life's lemons. Situations will arise in our daily lives that demand us to rise to the occasion. This is nature's way of ensuring our fitness. The thing is, we all have what it takes to conquer any situation; however, we must have the right mindset to ignite this mode.
The right mindset is knowing that all things work together for good. This allows us to live our lives unencumbered and be authentic.
