Adversity is a state of hardship or misfortune. It can be small things like leaving your keys at home or failing a test however it can also be huge obstacles like a loved one dying or coming home to see that your house has been in a tragic fire. Every problem in life can be described as adversity however it's how we look at these obstacles that makes life easier. If you have to ability to turn adversity into a challenge instead of becoming depressed every time something goes wrong, the smaller problems in life won't be a problem at all and the larger problems will be easier to deal with. It can be also described as bad luck such as your house being burgled, as well as unnecessary and unforeseen trouble resulting from an unfortunate event. It can cause a state of great suffering and distress. Adversity is anything that will make your life harder.
