199: How Successful People Deal with Adversity

“Adversity causes some people to break; others to break records.” William Arthur Ward

High performers see the opportunity. They know everyone experiences adversity – but it’s how they respond to it that matters. They realize they have a choice in how they respond. Then, they see the opportunity – and ask themselves ‘What’s the opportunity here’ 3 times to make sure they think like the most successful.

Power Phrase:

“I am an optimist. I see the opportunity in every difficulty.”
