“They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know that we were seeds” is a famous Mexican proverb. I found it inspiring when I read it and I find it is a good summary of how we should react to adversity.
There are instances where we can’t do so much about what happens to us, and we get buried. It will be tough and painful at the time.
But what is really important is to learn and grow again differently and taking into account the experience. What is important is also to learn from the experience of what happens to others next to you if they get buried too.
Strong adversity will make us eventually stronger. We will grow into a bigger and stronger self.
When faced with huge difficulties and if you feel you might succumb, let go and focus on growing back different. Be a seed of something new and unique.
