How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

We are here to tell you that the happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?”
When you place a carrot, an egg and coffee beans in boiling water (adversity for them)....
Are you the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity you wilt and become soft, loosing your strength.
Are you the egg, with soft gooey insides until it changes under the heat? Are you a fluid spirit that solidify at the first sign of hardship.
Or are you in fact the coffee bean? The bean not only develops in to something else, but it changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, the coffee releases its full fragrance and flavor. When things are at their worst, the coffee gets better, and changes the situation around it.
When things are tough, and I mean really tough, do you elevate yourself to another level?
