Life is a paradoxical adventure, of revelation, experiences, growth, and change.Life ushers in new seasons of life, that comes with challenges, opportunities for growth and development. The changes of life are inevitable, forcing us out of our comfort zones, suspending us in a foreign area, of self-reflection, and self-discovery. Life is a continuous force, that guides us down different paths in life. I have been rejected, betrayed, lied to and misunderstood. I often isolated myself from family and friends, wounded by their words and uncaring attitudes, only served to exacerbate my pain. I berated and treated myself very harshly, not giving myself permission to accept my own flaws and mistakes.My inner critic, kept me imprisoned in by my own fear I often shied away from opportunities to grow in stature and character. feeling inadequate to face life problems, subjected to an environment absent of love and peace. The environment tends to rub off on attitudes and actions, I have been dealt unfair hands in life, consequently, I learned a lot of important life lessons, that have shaped and molded my character.  This pain has increased my awareness for my need of God in my life, he has helped me to find my silver lining in some of the most trying irritations, setbacks, and disappointment. I have been passed over promotions, denied certain privileges, treated with varying degrees of disrespect, and resentment. the environment crackled with intensity, charged with emotional energy. It is my opinion that society is morally ambiguous, many of us have experienced favoritism, been dealt unjustly by our superiors and bosses.We have been exposed to things that are often painful, unexplainable, unjustly, and unfairly. This experienced has made me stronger, and tougher. These challenges have broken me out of my shell, unearthening, a new and improved version of myself, these experiences, gave me wisdom, and insight. melting way many internal barriers, and destroying strongholds, lies, and misconceptions and ideologies. The varying degrees of stress and discomfort are defining moments, that can change the trajectory of your life. these adversities serve as training to prepare us for something much greater than ourselves. these times really reveal to us who are true friends are, these situations expose our vulnerabilties, our faults, our short comings. in this place of humility, we find our identity,we find our true nature, we are able to accurately reflect the righteousness of God. We are not blinded, by pride, and selfishness, and our overenflated egos. that keep us seperated from God. Adversities is a true test of someones character, when they are under stress and pressure, often this seperates the weak from the strong. Some people embrace, the conflict the  problems, and the stress growing into stronger more confident individuals. there are some that shrink back retreating into their shell of insecurity,   negating responsibility, speaking abusivly, blaming others for the mishap and mistakes. Abandoning their responsibility, and commitiment to find a resolution.
