Adversity: What do we do when we didn’t choose the challenge we are facing?

I had to give myself a very stern talking to today. It didn’t go well. My higher self is such a know it all sometimes!

I caught myself feeling entitled to be adversity free. I was running on the treadmill and shaking my head thinking ‘CANT I CATCH A FREAKIN BREAK?’ You see, I literally lost everything only a few short years ago and I have faced the adversity that came with rebuilding my life from the ground up. I like so many others out there in the world felt like this new decade was going to be my time to reap the rewards of my resilience.

So – to find myself in the middle of a global pandemic, being told that my business is non essential and can no longer operate feels highly unfair. Surely I should get a free pass?

Surely the adversity I have already endured should entitle me to bypass this chaos? Right?!
