ADVERSITY and PROSPERITY


"If you are weak in crisis, you are weak indeed"
Adversity is a good test of our resiliency, to recover from misfortune. On the other side is prosperity- a tougher test than adversity. Precious few are those who can live in the lap of luxury . . . who can keep their moral, spiritual and financial equilibrium . . . while balancing on the elevated tightrope of success.
When adversity strikes, life becomes rather simple. Our need is to survive. But when prosperity occurs, life gets complicated. And our needs are numerous often extremely complex, our integrity is put to test. To stay balance through adversity, resiliency is required. But to stay balanced through prosperity - it demands integrity. The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
Be aware, walking on a wire is harder than standing up in a storm. Height has a strange way of distributing our balance.
