Triumph Over the Trials
By late March of 2020, we all came to realize we were living in different times—times that pushed us out of our comfort zones.
There may have been uncertainty when you thought about the global pandemic and what the future holds for you. Fear. Worry. Or you may have felt excited, optimistic, or even hopeful.
Triumph Over the Trials contains messages from voices in the higher education, business, and medical communities who came together virtually in April 2020 to write chapters about personal trials. The goal is to encourage you to push through even when it’s uncomfortable—even when pushing through is the absolute last thing you want to do.
We answer the question, “What is one of the biggest trials or challenges you have ever had, and how did you overcome it?” And you get a piece of advice from each contributor that lets you know the triumphs are always greater than the trials. Always.
