Resilient!

Thoughts about resilience…

Every time I see catastrophic events it bothers me. Say for instance the fires in Hawaii. It will be difficult to bounce back considering the livelihood of many people was wiped out. On a personal level we experience our own tragic events and hit rock bottom, a common term used to describe the worst experience you will encounter. And what is that you can do?

Believe in Yourself. …
Feel Your Pain and Regain Control of Your Life. …

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”
― Steve Maraboli,

“The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.”
― Jodi Picoult,

This is where resilience comes into place…

What does it mean to be resilient? Resilience is the ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from difficult life events. Being resilient does not mean a person doesn’t experience stress, emotional upheaval, and suffering. Resilience involves the ability to work through emotional pain and suffering.

And these thoughts..

The best thing to do when the worst thing happens is to begin moving forward again. The real essence of strength is in resilience. Drawing upon and exercising such strength will make it grow ever stronger. Make the commitment to bounce back and you end up at an even higher level, an even stronger position than before.

It is indeed difficult to begin going forward when your world has just been devastated. Yet time and time again, people do, and as they move persistently ahead, the world does too.

The resilience of a positive purpose knows no defeat, for each setback serves to move it forward. It requires much effort and sacrifice, yet it is worth the cost. For with resilience we steadily rise above higher and higher levels of challenge. With resilience we move our lives beyond our fears, and forge ahead in the direction of the best we can be.

On this day especially, consider the power of resilience. And do what must be done to move yourself and your world positively and lovingly forward.
