Adversity Cause Some Men to Break: Others to Break Records

When Adversity emerges like a Tsunami in your life, you might think that Life is over and that there is no possibility for you to move on…but you are wrong…

Think about how Adversity can push you to break records, perform better, work harder and aim higher..

Lately I have been so shocked about a tragedy in Malta, where a man called Simon managed to live after 7 days in the sea..living a dramatic experience without food, water, holding tight to his son and helping others to continue living after an explosion on his boat…

But Simon is a hero…and although his son was not found, what he did in the past week was an act of a true hero…A man who could have easily died had he given up…but he didn’t…. It’s a great misfortune that his son of 11 years has not been found…but Simon is a true example of a Man who Broke a Record when Faced with Adversity. God Bless him.

Taking note from the above example of a man of great strength in the face of hardship and adversity, we must consider ourselves lucky and never take anything for granted. God knows when a severe hardship may befall us, but what we have to do is to keep faith firm and strong, believe in ourselves and our strength and never let these adversities take over our potentials and break us down.

It all may seem easier said than done, but as it is said “Nothing is impossible in life if you try hard enough”. The key is to never underestimate your potency and be optimistic! It may seem close to impossible when your close to your breaking point but Allah is always there to guide and help you if you learn to make the most out of any situation, even adversity.

Great men have survived even greater adversities and have come victorious above all, breaking records in history nobody thought were possible! Adversity causes some to people to go over the edge and lose it. And for others it causes them to break records; There is adversity between the races and also between a person and themselves.
Personal experience have taught me to always embrace the suffering but still keeping a brave façade in front of the world and always try to find some ounce of happiness in even the smallest of joys and the darkest of times. Whenever there are tough times for me, I always try to keep a positive approach by reminding myself of the less fortunate and of the people who are suffering greater adversities than me. This is a tip that always keeps one going even in the most depressing of states.
As it is said:
“When the going gets tough the tough get going.”
