Adversity. God will not have His work made manifest by cowards.
God will not have His work made manifest by cowards. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that. It is as true now as it was then.
Adversity is not the obstacle to greatness. Adversity is the path. Every G.O.A.T. on this site has a story of failure, rejection, injury, or devastation that came before the championship. The adversity didn't slow them down - it revealed who they were. It gave them something to fight for.
Never give up. Never give in. The best of the best are not the ones who never face adversity - they are the ones who face it and keep going anyway.
