Writing Prompt: What Obstacles Have You Faced?

Life can be hard. Sometimes, really hard. Although I never wish adversity on anyone, sometimes it can be a source of personal growth and change. We can learn a lot about ourselves by reflecting back on obstacles and adversities we've faced, and considering how we responded to them and how they have changed us.

Here are some questions to write about:
🖊📖 What are some of the major obstacles/adversities have you faced over the course of your life?
🖊📖 How did you respond to them? In what ways are you proud of how you've responded? How would you like to respond differently in the future?
🖊📖 What has adversity taught you about yourself? Has it sparked any growth or change?
🖊📖 Has adversity brought you closer to anyone? Or given you a new perspective on anything?
