We all face adversity. It’s how we choose to respond to adversity that will determine who we become.
Jeff Heggie and Tami Matheny talk about their new book, “Challenger Deep: Athletes Rising Above Adversity”
Challenger Deep is the deepest part of the ocean- therefore the lowest point on Earth, more than 36,000 feet below the ocean’s surface. You physically can’t get any lower.
The beautiful thing about being at your lowest point is there is nowhere to go but up. In moments of adversity, we must stop, look up and focus on the little bit of light that’s peeking through. In some instances, you may not be able to see any sort of light, but the belief that you soon will, can be your salvation during these times.
Several key points on adversity:
- Whenlookedatwiththerightperspective,it can be used to not only help you, but to also help others.
- Whenthingsgetdarkandyoufeellikethere is no hope, keep going. In these moments when there seems no way out, we are becoming stronger and more resilient. This is where our skills are developed and our “why” is tested.
The only place to go, is up. Keep climbing even when you can’t see the mountain top. Then when you make it to the top, help someone else out of their “Challenger Deep.”
