Turning adversity into triumph is often about mindset, resilience, and strategic action. Recently, I watched a standup comedian use his disability to his advantage and I was amazed at his tenacity. His wit was great and I found myself laughing along with everyone and very quickly lost the sense of feeling sorry for the comic. Creating victory out of adversity.
How many people would actually do what he did or even think about doing it – use a health problem to give others comic relief? In my opinion, I think very few people would feel confident enough to do so, most would be reluctant to even approach the stage entrance , much less go on it for fear of being rejected.
Many people fear rejection, which can be a powerful dream crusher if not handled well. He was determined to bounce back from the setback, get on his feet, and keep making people laugh. It is only reasonable to assume that he gave no thought to rejection and his incredible mental toughness, faith, and willpower enabled him to recover from the stroke and continue his journey. Even with the obvious symptoms of his ordeal—hand curling, slurred speech here and there—his strength and persistence were apparent.
“Come-Back Kid” – Creating Victory
His comedy, which was mostly directed at his family and himself, including his stroke, was hilarious. He is, in my opinion, the real “come-back kid,” and I was moved by his resilience and his ability to turn adversity into triumph. Undoubtedly, some challenges may take longer to overcome, but the success gap will shrink with commitment and determination, and the seemingly impossible will become possible.
