Earlier today I had a
conversation with my brother about a former classmate of his. What was
interesting about his classmate was how he personally struggled with poverty.
My brother recalled how as classmates they all would share their lunch with
this young man because he most times did not have his own. However, he never
complained, always wore a smile and excelled in school. My brother wrapped up
that conversation by saying " hard times produce strong
people".
Here are some tips for staying
strong during hard times:
1. Hold on to your faith- pray
more, trust God more.
2. Exercise gratitude- there is
always something to say thank you for, make a habit to highlighting the
positive.
3. Form new positive habits-
like exercising.
4. Find your support system-
many of us find our support system in church. It can also be a book club or a
group of friends.
5. Stay away from negativity-
The news is number one on my hit list for making me sad. I stay away from it as
much as possible.

I totally agree with your brother. I struggled too growing up and it has made me strong 💪 I sometimes create difficult situations for my daughters to see how they would handle it as i think they are far more fortunate than i was at their age.
