Early on in my recovery, when chaos still reigned supreme, I described what had happened to me as a magic trick that didn t work. "It s like the magician ripped the table cloth off the table, but the dishes went flying everywhere," was what I said. People often talk about adversity shattering their lives. The structure, order and meaning that was once so familiar has been reduced to a nondescript pile of broken pieces. There s a sense of unreality about it. Just like magic, it seems to defy logic and rational thinking. Life is perpetual change. Adversity is unwanted change. We don t want something to end, but it does. When this happens, something new is automatically created. Whatever that something is, somewhere within it lie the seeds of opportunity. This is the LAST thing you want to hear after adversity sweeps through your life and leaves you staring at the pile of broken pieces. You don t want silver linings. You don t want lemonade. You don t want opportunities. You want things to be the way they were. Adversity turns order into chaos. It makes the familiar unfamiliar. It makes what was once predictable unpredictable. Where life was once stable, now it seems precarious. At first all your energy is used to cope with this confusion and uncertainty. You can t see opportunity! Something meaningful and important in your life has been changed or taken away. Adversity causes loss, and that is what you see. No crisis lasts forever, and as you begin to piece things back together again, you do calm the chaos. You do restore order. You do come to terms with the losses. That s what the healing process is. As it unfolds, hope and possibility begin to grow. Some people can see and embrace opportunity sooner than others. That s okay. Healing isn t a race. Everybody s different. Everyone has their own path to follow, their own style and their own pace. When adversity causes profound change (and profound loss), it can destroy your most basic beliefs and assumptions about life and the world. Things you once believed to be true seem false. Things that once were meaningful no longer are. When this happens, it can make you ask the big questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Thus, one of the greatest opportunities adversity opens up is the chance to reevaluate your life and the way you are living it. It can be the catalyst for a change in life direction that sends you on a richer, more fuilfilling life path - one that is more in alignment with who you truly are. Many people find great healing in using their experience of adversity to make the world a better place. They create something good out of something that caused destruction. They give back where adversity took away. Examples of this are easy to find. Organizations, foundations, scholarships, shelters, books, works of art, community projects, national events (the list goes on and on... websites!) are in some way a legacy of the good that can come from hardship and tragedy. All of them are testimonies of adversity bringing out the best in people. Taking action is healing because it helps you take back your power in the most positive way.
