FIND YOUR SPIRIT

Your mind will fail you.  At some point it will cry out demanding for failure.

Your body will fail you.  At some point, it will cry out demanding for release. 

When mind and body fail you, there is only one thing which can make you persevere:  your spirit.   The spirit will hold you up when all else fails.  And so the wise man welcomes adversity, for in adversity, there is the opportunity to identify and recognize the spirit. 

Adversity is the great mill, the crucible, that which separates.  When the mind and body are gone, look to what is left.  And you will find your greatest of treasures.
