Don't Run Away From Adversity. Own It.

It’s easy to run from adversity.

But what if you can’t? What if it follows you wherever you go, and is already there when you wake up in the morning? What then?

I know this all too well because I used to race away from my own challenges, terrified of facing them head on. And yet they never stopped coming for me. Eventually I realized that running was not a solution and so one day, I turned around and faced them instead.
