Adversity is a part of life. It can cause feelings of weakness, despair, and vulnerability. This can lead to low self-esteem and reduced confidence in yourself and your abilities. However, when you get through it, you’ll come out stronger than before.
It is important to remember that not everyone has adversity in their lives. Some people have easy lives while others have difficult ones. Don’t compare yourself with other people; compare yourself to who you were yesterday or one year ago instead.
