Overcoming Adversity
Life is full of ups and downs. In hindsight, some of the worst experiences we have lived through seem quite minor in retrospect. Why is this the case?
Partly due to the idea that past events have the fortunate perspective of being only a portion of a greater whole. Despite all the vicissitudes, the “bad” is never a constant. We just don’t know when the “turning point” will be, or what its particular nature. In times of adversity, it is more important ever to remain faithful in the understanding that a solution might be just around the corner.
The Myth of the “Elite”
There is no such thing as “elitism.” No matter how much anyone tries to convince me of that fact, it is simply not true. In God’s eyes, we are all equal as his children.
Dreaming up a concept of an “elite” class that you did not have the good fortune to be a part of is an excuse for becoming less than you otherwise could have been. In other words, it’s an excuse to not do anything to change your present social position.
