Important items to overcome adversity

"As we transition into the 4th quarter of our lives, knowing how to overcome adversity is more crucial than at any time before. Not only will the challenges become harder and the choices more difficult to make, but there may be more people in your life depending on your wisdom and experience. Often, earlier in your life, adversity could be swept under the rug and ignored, with the consequences not too severe. This is not the case now. If an adverse event like the Financial Crisis of 2008 occurs, it must be dealt with swiftly and correctly before more problems develop. Entering the 4th quarter, we are often the patriarch or matriarch of our families, becoming an important consultant to family members. Our advice will be needed to help others in everything from dealing with the death of parents to the trouble our children and grandchildren will face in their own lives."
