Progress & Adversity

I think when we discuss adversity we forget that we choose our suffering. Suffering is Passion and that's what we need to find is the Passion that induces the proper resistance. Resistance creates strength and I think it's really easy to suffer in the wrong direction. However, if we can distinguish what gives us life then we can begin to realize what is giving our life worth meaning and what is draining us from making any real progress at all.
