“Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves.” -William Davenant
“A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” -Franklin D. Roosevelt
The word “conviction” originates from the Latin convincere, meaning “to overcome” or “to conquer.”
The only way to know your convictions is when they’re put to the test. You actually have to overcome something. So be grateful for the hardships for they reveal a lot.
Put another way…
No test. No conviction.
