Adversity Introduces a Man to Himself
Next time you feel you are in adverse conditions, consider that as an opportunity to utilize your so far unexplored abilities. Ever wondered what exactly happens to you in adversity? What is that situation like? Why there are umpteen examples of people who have reached soaring heights despite being in dire financial straits or a health problem or any other handicap?
Many business magnates who started their businesses with a few dollars have made empires for themselves. Sportspersons who never had the luxury of proper training made it to the Olympics.
A great number of actors, singers, writers, lawyers and other professionals from different walks of life have reached the pinnacles of their careers only after going through adversities.
However, not everyone gets an opportunity to experience the hardships. This may sound like an oxymoron, but if you would try to understand it, you would learn the deep meaning of this words.
Apply this in your home business. You start your business but don’t want to quit your job for financial security reasons. Well, that’s a nice thought. But unfortunately, you will not give your best by having a cushion to fall upon. Your business would remain a part-time vocation even as you would want to achieve financial freedom. Now, I do not propose that the day you start your home business, you quit your job for good. I am talking about people who after having spent a good amount of time in home business continue to do it part time. Well, they are content with having a little extra income to fulfill their needs…...good for them that way!
But what about those who want to have much more - money, as well as internal happiness? Most of them have chosen to do it full time, leaving their jobs and devoting themselves wholeheartedly to it. When they dare to venture that way, they don’t have anything to bank upon, not even adequate funds for sustenance. Then starts the adverse scenario.
Now how do entrepreneurs react to such fight or flight situations? Many crack under pressure, while some maintain their calm and fight the adversities standing unfazed.
When you are under enormous pressure, your finer qualities come out. You gather an amazing speed at work and your entire focus is on your goal. Despite working like a gimlet the whole day, you don’t mind burning the midnight oil. Your mental faculties start generating solutions at an incredible rate. Can success really be far away if one works like this?
Any situation that makes you work like that is unreasonably called ‘adversity’ by us! Such situations could be low funds, low resources, lack of time, cutthroat competition, rejection, failure, etc. In reality, these are opportunities created by nature to bring the best out of us so that we excel in our endeavors. Under adverse circumstances, you don’t really have a choice. You have to fight it out or you are history!
Ever wondered why the lads of the very rich fail to become great sportspersons or entertainers or writers? They are successful only in what they got as legacy! Ask them to establish or accomplish something on their own and they would not even understand what you are talking about. They have never dared to do that. The reason is simple to understand – they always have their glorious heritage to fall back upon. As a result, their finer qualities remain dormant inside them. The only thing they can do well is maintain what they have inherited.
Take your life as it comes. No soul on this earth can escape adversities. You would only make your life more miserable by succumbing to the enormity of your hardships. Think a little. Ask your self a very simple question – what can go wrong if I face the situation? Almost nothing! Believe me, you will only want to stay and fight back instead of fleeing the scene. If you still feel like taking a flight, ask another question – Has anyone ever got success without persevering?
It’s easy to quit, but every business would pose equally severe adverse conditions… finally you will have to face them!
