Live long enough and adversity happens to all of us---a healthy marriage crumbles, a child becomes an addict, a meaningful friendship abruptly ends, a parent's health rapidly deteriorates, a business venture goes bad, a routine check-up reveals cancer, a long-awaited child arrives deformed---and how we navigate through these times ultimately determine who we become. \u003cbr\u003eThe author writes, \"Over the years, I've observed a variety of ways people have responded to difficulty and as a result, have been shaped by it. Some become hardened, others more humble. Some become cynical, others more grateful. Some grow to resent life; others discover a deeper purpose to life. Some wilt, others bloom. Some learn to hate, others learn to love. Some become hopeless; others become resilient. Some are blown off course; others are moved toward their destiny. It's not a question of if life shapes us, only a question of how.\"\"\u003cbr\u003eOn a routine trip to a women's Bible study, Ken's wife of twenty-five years was killed in a car accident.
