We acquire the strength of that which we overcome. When you overcome a challenge, you not only conquer the obstacle itself but also gain all the strength from its resistance. Its strength now becomes your strength.
The spirit and force that once was in the adversity you face—by virtue of your overcoming it—has now become a part of you. By conquering the obstacles in your path, you harness their power, and as a result, you become even stronger, even greater, and even more powerful to meet and overcome the obstacles you will face in the future.
“We acquire the strength we have overcome.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Use Adversity To Grow Even Stronger ~ “Succisa Veriscit”
There is a famous Latin phrase that reads: “Succisa Veriscit.” When translated into English, the words mean “When cut down, it grows back stronger.” The term “succisa veriscit” is not just a pair of words to be spoken, but rather, it is a motto to be lived by and a mantra to be lived-out. Succisa Veriscit is all about resilience and overcoming. It is about will and desire; determination and strength.
It means having the determination to overcome whatever challenges life puts in your path, no matter how big or difficult the obstacles are. It is a driven mentality— a relentless desire to overcome adversity ... and to succeed. It is an attitude that is characterized by a perfect resilience and an uncompromising will.
