RE: Preparing On a Sunny Day - The Value of Voluntary Adversity

How true this post @ericvancewalton personally, I believe that behavior is governed by our beliefs; that is where the program that governs our lives lies. Sometimes they empower us or hold us back; it is up to each of us to make decisions that bring us closer to living according to our convictions.
I totally agree with the priorities: health, freedom, peace of mind. Although trusting and cultivating peace has helped me get through adverse situations. In countries like mine (Venezuela), everyday life is a constant uncertainty that keeps us looking for solutions. I recognize that we have learned to be resilient and to enjoy ourselves despite everything, and that is a gain!
As a society, we have a long way to go, but we have learned a lot from “adversity.”
I respect and admire the discipline of adversity that you apply in your life...best regards!

Thank you! It has to have been tough in Venezuela since Maduro took office. There is a lot of truth in that phrase tough times create strong people. I hope things get better in your country soon. The economy is pretty bad here in the US but nothing like what you've had to endure.
