In life, there are hardships that can change us for the better\u2014or for the worse. How we respond to adversity varies from person to person and depends on the circumstances. <\/p>\n

Many find a way to overcome hardship and move forward. They may even learn a lesson and grow from it. However, some people may turn to alcohol and drugs to numb their pain or allow their anger to engulf them. Some, in bitterness, seek revenge. Others turn to isolation. <\/p>\n

And then there are those who turn their adversity into a power for good\u2014helping others who have suffered from a similar loss. Instead of letting their pain isolate them from others, they plunge ahead to help those who face their own pain with hope and love. <\/p>\n

In his book The Second Mountain<\/em><\/a>, David Brooks tells the story of Sarah Adkins who went through a horrific tragedy. While she was away on a trip with her mother, her husband, who was battling depression, killed their two young sons and then himself. <\/p>\n

It took Sarah years to recover from this tragedy. Eventually, she found the strength to turn her pain and anger into power to help others. She started a foundation for women who can\u2019t afford funeral and other costs when their children\u2019s lives are taken, or when there is violence in their home. <\/p>\n

Sarah says, \u201cI was going to fight back against what he tried to do to me by making a difference in the world.\u201d Although she still lives with the pain this tragedy has caused, she has used it to help others who go through similar hardships. Thankfully, most of us will never face such an adversity as Sarah\u2019s, but we can all learn from her how to use tragic situations to help others<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Recently, a colleague of mine shared how one of her teen children, who was diagnosed with a heart condition, feels empowered by taking part in a medical test that may help others in the future. This is her teenager\u2019s way of turning illness<\/a> into a power for good. She refuses to feel defeated by illness even though there are days that she is exhausted by her condition. <\/p>\n

When we face hardship, it is up to us to not allow circumstances to take control but to grow from them and possibly help others. This is a choice we must all make. It doesn\u2019t mean that we don\u2019t feel pain, anger or frustration, but it\u2019s finding the courage to reclaim our power and grow from the experience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
