It is in the initial period that we must accept the situation whole-heartedly and brace ourselves. Adverse circumstances need perseverance and steadfastness only at the beginning. Once we are able to muster them, the sailing becomes easy. Precisely because of this reason we say that time is the greatest healer. After the initial tough period, our mind, body and routine adjust to a new equilibrium of life. Sometimes, this new equilibrium shows as if nothing unbearable had ever happened.
We can learn adaptability from some elements of nature too. For example, with consummate ease, water takes the shape of the container it fills. It offers no resistance at all. It adapts to its surroundings. Similarly, life forms living in extreme climates adapt to these circumstances. They seldom detract or shy away. Persistence makes them adaptable.
