Embrace Your Challenges = Adversity is one of the vital things that John Maxwell discusses in his book, Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn. Life is not easy and is filled with adversity. When we accept that life is difficult, it becomes easier because we are able to embrace the uphill journey. The difference between a problem and a fact of life is that a problem can be solved.
