Dear Mr. Adversity,

I’d like to take this time to thank you for being one of the few constants in my life.  I’ve always been able to count on you to show up when I least expect it.  The lessons you’ve taught me over the years have been both pricey and priceless.  Honestly, I used to be intimidated by your size and demeanor and disposition but once I realized your true intentions, I started to actually appreciate your purpose.

It’s for this reason I write this letter to you to say that it’s because of you that I stand here today a better man.  It’s because of you that my convictions are deeply-rooted.  It’s because of you that I have a healthy revenge against the mistakes and failures that beat me up and kicked my butt in the past.  And, it’s because of you that I’ve adopted “Overcomer” as my new middle name. 

I’d also like to thank you for being one of the most reliable and dependable beings I’ve ever known.  Even in the times when you walk out on me, I can always trust that you will eventually return even tougher and more intense.  Thank you for continuing to challenge me and require me to raise the bar in order to pass your many unexpected test to become a better me.

Finally, our relationship started out rough and rocky and at times I’ve been guilty of calling you “Enemy” and “Foe”, but over the years I must admit that I’ve grown quite fond of you and now I sincerely call you “Friend”.  Thanks for being there for me I couldn’t have done it without you.  You definitely complete me and I’m forever grateful.

Sincerely Yours,
Cedric “Overcomer” Crawford  🙂

PS.

Tell your nephew “Negativity” and your sister “Set-Back” that I said “WHAZZZUPPPP !!!” 

See ya soon……
