Resilience
Resilience is considered the ability to recover from or adjust to life change or misfortune.
Difficulties, changes and challenges are a part of life that we all will confront at one time or another. Turbulent, muddy rapids of change threaten to sweep away our spirit like rushing flood waters sweep away homes.
I am so impressed by the living examples of resilience that surround me. A dear friend who suffers from a chronic medical condition, but chooses to live the best life possible.
A man in his early seventies who has suffered three major financial setbacks in his life, is starting over again. His determination and attitude are inspiring. His success a testimony of resilience.
“Resilience isn’t a single skill. It is a variety of skills and coping mechanisms. To bounce back from bumps in the road as well as failures, you should focus on emphasizing the positive.”
~Jean Chatzky
I invite you this week to honor your spirit of resilience.
