In order to move from a place of simply surviving in life to a place of
thriving, resilience is a necessary trait. At a basic level resilience
is our ability to bounce back from tragedies and difficulties we
encounter in life. At a more complex level, the resilience mindset
embraces the idea that true resilience is our ability to navigate life,
adapt to change, learn through adversity, and understand our feelings
and emotional responses to situations. In order for this to be achieved,
there must be a high level of personal awareness and insight which leads
to a deep understanding of self. Resilience is an asset when it comes to
managing adversity because it helps us to overcome it. Rather than
crumbling under the pressure and weight of every challenge we encounter,
we become able to assess the challenge, learn and grow from it as we go
through it, and then move forward with the lessons we've been taught. It
is resilience that empowers us to continue moving forward, learning, and
growing, and building on the things we are learning in life.
