Adversity:

Title: Adversity First Name:    Matthew                                              Last Name: Redmann

Adversity defined by Webster: a state, condition, or instance of serious or continued difficulty or adverse fortune.   At the time you are going through a tough time you may contend that it is not a great deal.  But when you look back on the tough times in your life do find that you came out either better or worse based on how you responded to a tough challenge? Did a tough time condition you for the next big thing? I contend that adversity offers you an opportunity to:       Toughen up, if everything was easy how can you stretch yourself.       Learn about yourself and something new.       Grow in mind, body and spirit.       Teach others how to be fearless. My talk will help provide insight learning and an opportunity to discuss how challenges can be met with courage vs dread and worry.
