Jonathan Keese continues his discussing on the subject of Dealing with Adversity in Part II of his conversation.
Lesson 3: Closely examine the adversity you encounter to learn from it. My neighbor's daughter was vacation in Thailand on December 26, 2004 with the tsunami hit. Although he will never know the purpose of that event, he did gain an infinitely grater realization of the temporary nature of like. As a result, he made the decision to make the absolute most of every remaining day of his life. Because of the love and kindness he was show by Thai villagers who had also lost family members, he is more actively helping the helpless himself. When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, He instantly and effectively campaigned for help from our community.
Lesson 4: Seek insights from other people. A lot of times, adversity blindsides us. So what do you do? This is exactly the kind of situation in which Solomon would advise us to seek outside counsel. Go to others and gather their insights. What went wrong? Why didn't I see it coming? Was I blind? Was I callous? Was I naive? Others can sometimes see what we cannot because of our closeness to the situation.
