  • Great story! Awesome testimony to his will to overcome adversity. Sometimes we have to think why that adversity fell upon us and what purpose does it serve. Thank you for sharing.

  • I'd sure like to use this idea, 'twould be so useful. I have as much intuitive grasp of using adversity for power as I do of using porcupines for pets. Still I buy it.

  • Thank you for the insightful comment, Erik. I think it is quite true that we are accustomed to the idea of appreciating "positive", but maybe the true power and strength are hidden inside the "negative", adverse conditions. A good balance of positive and negative is what makes life meaningful, I think.

  • I am very thankful for this video, GOD Bless you, I am going through the greatest adveristy of my life..... And I will not give up till the storms over... I am the strongest person I know, by far and for once in my life I can truly say I love being me...... I LOVE MYSELF!!!!
