Adversity - I believe I'm more thankful for things now vs. in my youth due to obstacles that have been overcome. Surviving challenges (whether it is recovering from an injury, heartbreak, death of a loved one, job loss, etc.) are lessons learned, build character, fine-tune perspective, and make me more appreciative of what I now have.
