Warrior Mind Podcast #46 – Adversity
This episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast is in reference to Mental Strength Tip #12 – Adversity is Essential for Personal 
Success and discusses the importance of adversity plays in our lives and personal growth. Adversity is required and necessary for us to experience personal growth and to achieve personal success.
The real issue is how we label and frame an event. For some, adversity is challenging, something to test oneself. For others they think adversity means they’re doing something wrong. After all isn’t the Law of Attraction supposed to make life easy?
In your body if you don’t use your muscles they atrophy. You have to have some stress….some “adversity” to simulate growth. This is how adversity works in our lives. It provides the stress for us to experience personal growth.
The funny thing about adversity, the more you try to avoid it, the more you get. This IS the Law of Attraction in action! You are focusing on adversity, so you get it!
When you shift your perspective and begin to see adversity as an adventure that will help with your personal growth

The way you answer this question will reveal a lot about your beliefs surrounding success and your performance (how you show up). If you feel that you life is hard, unfair and only the “lucky” or unscrupulous succeed…well then you’ll need to spend some time at mental strength bootcamp. If however, you understand that adversity is a sign that you’re taking action and you’re on the path to personal success….well then, let’s move on!
Mental Strength Coaching:
The first step here is to determine your current level of consciousness (that’s where answering the above questions come in) and then begin moving your thinking to a higher level of awareness. This is done by helping you understand that your greatest achievements and breakthroughs have come and will come out of your greatest adversities. Building this mental strength habit of being more concerned about how you respond to adversity as opposed to the adversity itself is a continual practice. The more you practice, the better you get. The better you get, the more you’ll achieve your peak personal performance.
Final Thought
Peak performance individuals aren’t out looking for adversity to conquer, but they are mentally equipped to deal with them as the need arises. Just as the military guard out boarders, the mental strong are well prepared and trained to handle any threat on any lever and respond in a proportional manner.
My job as a mental strength coach is to help you develop the beliefs that you have the ability and skill to adequately deal with any adversity that life throws at you. Once this belief takes hold, you become fearless, courageous and free to attack life with all the talent and ability you have inside!
