Romans 5:3-5(NKJV)

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 

and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

God's success formula all wrapped up in a couple verses.  And it all starts with a great attitude.  Why?  As I've said before, I think a great attitude, especially in the face of adversity, is an external indication of your inner faith.  And we know from Scripture that all of the rewards of being a follower of Jesus spring from one single place…faith!
