'Adversity introduces a person to themselves.” - Anonymous

We can choose to be a victim when we are challenged by life's problems, or we can look at what we're contributing to the problem that keeps it in play. Problems will always be with us, but our response to them can turn them into hidden treasures. For example, I had a habit I had difficulty breaking. Becoming more aware of what caused certain reactions challenged me to look beyond what was happening to why it was happening.

It is this process that helped me overcome this limiting habit, and I now call this process 'mining for gold” . For example, new ways of learning about myself create new and more conscious choices.

Question: How can you use adversity in your life to mine for your gold?
