Facing Adversities in Life and Achieving Success

Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs. It is a rollercoaster ride where adversity often plays a significant role in shaping who we become. Adversities, whether they are personal, professional, or circumstantial, are inevitable. They test our resilience, determination, and ability to adapt. However, it is not the adversity itself that defines us but rather how we respond to it. Through determination, perseverance, and a growth mindset, individuals can transform adversity into a stepping stone towards success. This essay will explore the various facets of facing adversities in life and the path to achieving success despite them.

Adversity comes in various forms and can strike at any time. It might be the loss of a loved one, a debilitating illness, financial hardships, failure in one's career, or any other unexpected life challenge. These adversities can be emotionally, physically, and mentally taxing. However, it is essential to understand that adversity is a universal human experience. No one is immune to it, and it is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is often through adversity that individuals discover their inner strength and resilience.

One of the first steps in facing adversity is accepting it. Denial and avoidance can only prolong the suffering. Acceptance does not mean resignation, but rather acknowledging the reality of the situation. It is the foundation upon which one can build a plan to overcome the adversity.

One prime example of someone who faced adversity head-on is Helen Keller. At the age of 19 months, Keller was struck by a severe illness that left her both deaf and blind. For most, this would have been a life-altering and debilitating adversity. However, Keller's indomitable spirit and the support of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, enabled her to overcome these profound disabilities. She not only learned to communicate but also went on to graduate from Radcliffe College and become an author and activist. Keller's story illustrates that even the most daunting adversities can be conquered with determination and the right support.

Another crucial aspect of facing adversity is maintaining a positive mindset. Adversities often come with a barrage of negative emotions such as fear, anger, and despair. While these emotions are natural, dwelling on them can hinder progress. Developing a positive mindset involves reframing the adversity as an opportunity for growth and learning. It's about shifting the focus from "Why is this happening to me?" to "What can I learn from this experience?"

Walt Disney is a remarkable example of someone who faced numerous setbacks but maintained an unwavering positive mindset. Disney faced bankruptcy and rejection several times while trying to establish his animation studio. Yet, he never lost sight of his vision. His positive mindset allowed him to persevere, and eventually, he created one of the most iconic entertainment companies in the world. Disney's story teaches us that a positive outlook can help turn adversity into a stepping stone towards success.

Resilience is another key trait that plays a vital role in facing adversity. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks, adapt to change, and keep moving forward. Resilient individuals view adversity as a challenge rather than a threat. They understand that setbacks are a part of life and use them as opportunities for personal growth.

One notable example of resilience is the story of J.K. Rowling, the author of the immensely popular Harry Potter series. Rowling faced a series of adversities, including the death of her mother, a divorce, and financial struggles. She began writing the first Harry Potter book while living on welfare, and it was rejected by multiple publishers. However, her resilience and determination led her to persevere. Eventually, the book was published, and the rest is literary history. Rowling's journey reminds us that resilience can turn adversity into a catalyst for achieving our dreams.

Support systems are also crucial when facing adversity. Whether it's friends, family, mentors, or support groups, having a network of people who can provide emotional and practical support can make a significant difference. It's important to lean on these connections during tough times, as they can offer guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear.

Stephen Hawking, the renowned physicist, is an example of someone who relied on a robust support system to overcome tremendous adversity. Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neuron disease at the age of 21, which gradually paralyzed him and confined him to a wheelchair. Despite these challenges, he continued his groundbreaking work in theoretical physics. His family and colleagues provided him with the support he needed to communicate and continue his research. Hawking's story shows the power of a strong support system in the face of adversity.

Persistence is perhaps the most critical factor in turning adversity into success. It's easy to become disheartened when faced with repeated setbacks, but those who persist despite adversity are the ones who often achieve greatness. Persistence involves setting clear goals, breaking them down into manageable steps, and consistently working towards them.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is a prime example of persistence in the face of adversity. Lincoln faced numerous failures and setbacks in his life, including multiple losses in political elections and personal tragedies. However, he never gave up on his vision of a united nation and the abolition of slavery. His persistence ultimately led to the Emancipation Proclamation and the preservation of the Union. Lincoln's journey teaches us that unwavering persistence can lead to profound change.

In conclusion, facing adversities in life is an inevitable part of the human experience. Adversities can take many forms and can be emotionally, physically, and mentally challenging. However, it is not the adversity itself that defines us but how we respond to it. By accepting adversity, maintaining a positive mindset, developing resilience, seeking support, and persisting in the face of setbacks, individuals can transform adversity into a stepping stone towards success.

Throughout history, countless individuals have demonstrated the power of determination, resilience, and persistence in the face of adversity. Their stories serve as inspiration for us all, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, success is possible. As we navigate our own journeys, let us remember that adversity is not the end but a turning point on the path to greatness.

The Snobbery Slander

The Most Outrageous (and Ironic) Attacks on Oxfordians and Authorship Doubters

by Bryan H. Wildenthal*

William Shakspere of Stratford-upon-Avon (1564–1616), the provincial commoner who (we are told) became the author “Shakespeare,” the jewel in the crown of English literature, is an icon revered as Britain’s national poet. It is not only Britons who feel an emotional connection to this…

My understanding is they know Helen Keller the person existed, but they believe her writing is too sophisticated and stylized to be authentically written by someone who had never heard people speak. It's still fully ableist and ignorant, but not an actual denial of her as a historical figure. (Personally I think it's idiotic given that someone who acquired most of their understanding of formal English from books alone would certainly have a particularly scholarly style of writing!)

Yeah that’s a load of bullshit.

Everything you say is absolutely true, and apart from that...she was born in 1880. Have these people ever read any late Victorian or Edwardian literature? That was her formative experience of reading, so of course she’d have a very stylized and formal writing “voice.”

BLOODSHED TASK #2: PERSONALITY EXPLORATION

NATHAN MARSH

THE MEYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR;

ESTP-T ( the entrepreneur )

85% - Extraverted

55% - Observant

58% - Thinking

92% - Prospecting

65% - Turbulent

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. - Helen Keller

Entrepreneurs always have an impact on their immediate surroundings – the best way to spot them at a party is to look for the whirling eddy of people flitting about them as they move from group to group. Laughing and entertaining with blunt and earthy humour, Entrepreneur personalities love to be the center of attention. If an audience member is asked to come on stage, Entrepreneurs volunteer – or volunteer a shy friend.

Theory, abstract concepts and plodding discussions about global issues and their implications don’t keep Entrepreneurs interested for long. Entrepreneurs keep their conversation energetic, with a good dose of intelligence, but they like to talk about what is – or better yet, to just go out and do it. Entrepreneurs leap before they look, fixing their mistakes as they go, rather than sitting idle, preparing contingencies and escape clauses.

HOGWARTS HOUSE;

GRYFFINDOR - 89%

Slytherin - 55% Hufflepuff - 38% Ravenclaw - 25%

MORAL ALIGNMENT;

CHAOTIC GOOD

A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he’s kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit.

OSPP FOUR TEMPERAMENTS TEST;

SANGUINE - 18

Phlegmatic - 14 Choleric - 9 Melancholic - 8

Your temperament is sanguine. The sanguine temperament is fundamentally spontaneous and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean sensitivity, compassion and thoughtfulness. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when they pursue a new hobby, they lose interest as soon as it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very many people persons. They are talkative and not shy. Sanguines generally have an almost shameless nature, certain that what they are doing is right. They have no lack of confidence.

BDSM TEST;

100% Switch

99% Brat tamer 99% Brat 94% Primal (Hunter) 86% Vanilla

ENNEAGRAM TEST;

TYPE 7 - THE ENTHUSIAST

Pleasure seekers and planners, in search of distraction

People of this personality type are essentially concerned that their lives be an exciting adventure. Sevens are future-oriented, restless people who are generally convinced that something better is just around the corner. They are quick thinkers who have a great deal of energy and who make lots of plans. They tend to be extroverted, multi-talented, creative and open-minded. They are enthusiasts who enjoy the pleasures of the senses and who don't believe in any form of self-denial.

The central problem for Sevens is that their pursuit of pleasure is compulsive. Sevens are fear types who are specifically afraid of the power of negative states of mind. These they avoid by seeking distractions in the external environment: by multi-tasking, by keeping their options open, by engaging in stimulation seeking of all kinds. For this reason, Sevens are more prone than most to addictions of all sorts, whether it be to shopping, gambling, drugs or whatever.

SOULMARK COLOUR;

ORANGE

Out of all the colours, people with an orange soul colour are the most social. They are happiest around people and prefer to be out partying than sitting at home on a Friday night. They are never short of friends and get to know people all over the world.

Orange soul colored people are always looking to excite themselves and often do dangerous or thrilling things to feel alive. They are heavily competitive and excel in sports and physical activities. They rarely self reflect, preferring to stay in the here and now instead of dreaming about the future.

Fallen Loves (Part 1)

Pairing: Castiel x Reader, Jack x Adoptive Mother!Reader

Part 1: Protect Him

Word Count: 1437

Summary: Kelly’s pregnancy is coming to an end, she leaves you and Castiel a dying wish. After she dies, she give you and Castiel the responsibility to take care of her son like your own but things will prove to be difficult when you’re left to protect Jack with a broken heart and broken Winchesters.

Warnings: Angst, Character Death, Season 12 Finale spoilers – Season 13 spoilers in the next part.

A/N – Title was thankfully given by @misticty – my bestie; I love you and thank you! - ‘To play on the fallen angel thing but also shows why jack is alone in most of the images’

Your heart rate accelerated as Castiel had stormed past you to deal with Lucifer but you didn’t have time to dwell on it as the taller Winchester had to drag both you and Dean from stopping Cas. There wasn’t much you could do with the Winchesters as you jumped through the rift of space and time, waiting for Cas to return.

Tears were starting to form in your eyes as the time ticked on, your angel was in there for a long time. Cas stepped through the portal, smiling at you as you locked eyes with him. You breathed a sigh of relief, running towards him. Your happiness only lasted a millisecond before another flash came from the rift.

Cas’ eyes flashed as well as the place he had been stabbed in the chest, a sure sign that his grace was leaving the vessel he used.

‘NO!’ ‘CAS!’ Both you and Dean had said at the same time.

Your heart had leapt into your throat, you couldn’t breathe as Lucifer appeared with a smirk on his face, clearly happy with what he had done.

‘Well that was fun.’ He shrugged excitedly. ‘seriously guys. Points for trying super impressed but, uh, play time’s over.’

You all stood there in shock, Lucifer had just killed your angelic boyfriend, Dean’s best friend and Sam’s friend.

Boots were crunching and you heard her before you saw her. ‘Get away from them.’ You realised that her presence meant the death of Kelly Kline and the birth of the Nephilim; Jack.

Mary swagger past you and the boys with confidence, you knew in that moment that she would do anything to protect you and her boys.

‘Mary, right?’ Lucifer pointed at said woman. ‘Yeah, I’ve heard about you. You are certainly living up to the hype.’ He purred.

Lucifer continued to provoke the woman but Mary didn’t care. Her hands were tossed behind her back and then you saw it, the shine of the brass knuckle dusters that she must have retained from the British Men of Letters, she made a fist and they started to glow.

‘I owe you, kid.’ He indicated Mary with his finger.

You could feel the snarl that the Winchester matriarch was wearing, she stepped forward only to be stopped by Sam but she wasn’t having any of it. Her mind was set and she wanted to get rid of the devil once and for all; you couldn’t blame her either.

She turned her head to Sam, then Dean, and then even to you. ‘I love you.’

Strutting toward the devil, she pulled back her arm and collided her fist to his jaw, slightly knocking him back.

‘Cute but is that all you got mama.’

Mary’s teeth were bared as she repeatedly punched Lucifer in the face but when he felt the power the tear of space and time, his cunning, conniving brain set in and pulled at Mary’s coat, dragging her through the ripped seam. Once Mary and Lucifer had fallen through and disappeared, the seam sealed itself closed.

‘Mom! Mom!’ Dean’s voice sounded but you were still focused on the fallen body of Castiel.

Sam had looked over his shoulder and saw the orange light of the window Kelly had been in, the Nephilim had came to be and you didn’t know whether he had taken after his biological father.

You dropped to your knees to Cas’ side, a waterfall of tears pouring from your eyes, as you thought of the loss, you couldn’t lose him, you wouldn’t know how to live without him.

But now you may have to find out.

‘Cas? Baby, please, open your eyes.’

When he doesn’t respond, you can’t help the sob that escapes you. As time ticks on, you know that it is becoming more and more real. Your losing him. You’re losing Cas. Maybe it’s too late and he’s.

You can’t even bring yourself to say it, you refuse to say it because you can’t take anymore heartbreak in your life. You have already suffered enough in this hunting business to last anyone a lifetime, you wouldn’t wish it upon anyone else; not even your worst enemy.

Castiel’s body is void of any motion. Your fingers trailed over his face that was slowly losing its colour, his body losing its heat.

‘You can’t go like this Cas.’ Swallowing thickly, your voice cracked as you struggled to continue talking to your fading angel. ‘You can’t leave me, you put up with me when I was a pain in the ass, you’ve saved me, Castiel and I can’t lose you. Not now, not after everything you have done for me.’

Dean had slowly dropped to one knee then the other, all air had been knocked out of him and he spoke no words, he didn’t have to you knew exactly what he was feeling.

Cupping Castiel’s face in your hand, your threaded your fingers through the short strands of his hair. ‘Come on Cas.’ You choked as his name escaped. The tears that were falling, hit Castiel’s forehead. ‘You can’t just leave me here, I need you to come back, come back to me dammit. It’s too scary without you.’

‘He’s gone, Y/N.’

Dean had uttered three words- albeit in a broken voice, and they had the power to break your heart. His words only confirmed all the thoughts that had been flowing through your mind, you didn’t want it to be true but there was all the evidence, laid in front of you, in the form of Castiel, your angel.

Your heart began to race at the thought of never seeing Castiel’s piercing blue eyes again. If he was dead, you would never get to explain the simple things to him, you wouldn’t hear him speak and try to teach you Enocian any more; you would never be wrapped in his embrace after he saved you, after he protected you. He would never be able to do any of that again.

‘No!’ The stage of denial still coursed through you, you still couldn’t believe it, you didn’t want to believe it but how could you not when all the signs pointed to the fact that he was dead.

‘Y/N.’ Dean tried, he was tired, exhausted, he didn’t want to believe that his best friend had died either but there was no other explanation.

The tears wouldn’t stop falling from your eyes, you had lost the love of your life, someone who actually gave it meaning, you couldn’t stop the shout that left your lips. ‘No, Dean, he’s not fucking dead! He can’t fucking die! No.’

Dean had licked his split and bloodied lips and his eyes glassed over with unshed tears, the force of his best friend’s death weighing on his heart - just as much as yours, but you hadn’t thought about him.

The life you had with Cas flashing behind your closed eyelids; all the soft kisses, the longing stares, the touches shared. All of it, you would never see it again. Your head dropped to the crook of his neck, quietly sobbing until you couldn’t any more.

‘It’s time to go, Y/N. Jack’s still in there.’ Dean’s voice had cracked.

The mention of Kelly’s baby boy’s name sent something rolling through you. It was Kelly’s voice.

‘When I give birth, when I die,’ she painted a smile on her face, the pain of the contractions the Nephilim was causing her face to contort as she did so. She shared a look between you and Castiel. ‘I need you both to look after him. Need you to protect my baby boy, love him like a mother and a father because he wouldn’t have any if the two didn’t take him in.

‘I know it’s a lot to ask of the both of you but please he needs someone to protect him. He can’t go into this world alone, unprotected. Jack needs a mother and a father and I need you to promise me that the two of you will be that for him.’

Leaning back on your haunches, you pulled your bottom lip between your teeth, tearing your eyes away from Cas, you did nothing but stare blankly at the older Winchester.

There was a beat of silence between the two of you, no words, no crying, no sounds. Just the feeling of responsibility rushing through you in waves. You had to respect Kelly’s last wishes and take care of Jack, no matter how dangerous he could have been.

The wind - or Cas’ lingering grace - coaxing you to toward the house in search of the Nephilim.

Lemme know what you think...

Did it need to end that way? Could something have been done to prevent the tragedy in the first place? Eighty-nine murders at the pig farm, the deaths of Mason and Lucas Turner make 91 lives snuffed out. Kelly Shane will go home and try to recover, to reconnect with her family but she’ll never be a child again. William Hightower, who gave his leg for his country, gave the rest of himself to avenge his sister’s murder. That makes 93 lives forever altered, not counting family and friends in a small town in Sarnia, Ontario, who thought monsters didn’t exist until they learned that they spent their lives with one. And what about my team? How many more times will they be able to look into the abyss? How many more times before they won’t ever recover the pieces of themselves that this job takes? Like I said, sometimes there are no words or clever quotes to neatly sum up what’s happened that day. The Reaper: You should have made a deal. Hotchner: Sometimes, the day just… (Fade to black. A gunshot is heard) Hotchner: … ends.
