Dante Alighieri wrote when he was poor. Dante Alighieri wrote when he lost his loved ones. Dante Alighieri wrote when he was exiled out of Florence, Italy. How could he do it? Simple, he was prepared for challenges, independent, he had a focus, and always had a sense of higher purpose. From the point in time when Dante Alighieri was growing up in a poor family to being exiled out of Florence, he was still able to write some of his greatest works such as his epic poem, "The Divine Comedy."
