We all need adversaries and adversity to exist. “Plenty and peace breed cowards,” Shakespeare said. “Hardness ever of hardiness is mother.” It’s not bad that this is happening to you. It’s good training. Besides, not everyone would even have the strength to see it that way. This moment is a test. They’re called “trying times” for a reason. It’s good that it’s happening now, instead of later—because later, you’ll be better for having gone through it today. Got it?
