Hardship means different things to different people because of the taste they have on the subject. Hardship doesn't really mean being financially handicap, it balls down to lifestyle, work, standard of living, relationship and several other things.
Hardship in any form can be frustrating and discouraging as well, it should not be wished on anyone.
When the going get tough, the tough gets going
On my own part, i have a story to tell you; A true life to be to be precised.
I was born into family who struggled to survive. We could barely feed twice a day. My father was earning less than $30 monthly, don't ask me if it is true, because where i hail from most people suffer a lot and live below two dollar $2.

We (my dad, my mum, myself and my Three younger siblings) lived in a room. My dad and mum would lay on a foam that was nothing compared to laying on the ground. I and my younger siblings would lay on the cold floor not minding the temperature at all.
In our house, we had a foam (my mummy would call mattress), an ancient radio, two big bags filled with our cloths and one oil lamp. When we lay down at night to sleep, we always had guest singing praises into our ears. You wonder what kind of guest we were always welcoming, Ok, we welcome Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes would always pierce, suck nite and chew our skins and at the same time give us precious gifts called Malaria. When ever any of us fell ill, we either go look for herbs, or we go collect drugs without paying, living us in debt.
Where we live is no difference from this back then

not because we are lazy but because hardship was telling on us
One very very dynamic feature of the place i stay is that we do not have power supply; Most times we enjoy 2hours power supply in 2 days.
I grew up in the ghetto and we did not have good roads and a very good drainage system.
Attending school was another challenge, i would go to school in the morning and go work as a sales girl at noon for less than $15 a month (really cruel you must say).
i have always been passing through hard times right from the beginning of my life but i've always survived and i always press on having the believe that all will be well.
Each and everyone of us might have one challenge or the other to face in our life, but the best thing to do is to fight your way through. Making the best out of every situation is my watchword.
Are you passing through hardship?
Do you believe that things would be fine and come back to normal even when passing through hardtimes
