Time to Wake Up

The Gift of Adversity

It's absolutely true that going through tough times is no fun and, if you can avoid the pain, you'll do our best to do so. It's human nature. It's also absolutely true that you have no control over some of the circumstances that arrive at your front door. The question is, how do you respond to difficulties and how do you use them to bring more enlightenment into your being? The Buddhist monk, Pema Chodron, shares her thoughts in a down-to-earth and compassionate look at how trouble can be an opportunity. Produced by Omega Institute.
