The Power of Resilience

“Resilience is knowing that you are the only one that has the power and the responsibility to pick yourself up.” Mary Holloway.

Resilience is the ability to persevere and tolerate the most idiomatic of times you face.  Resilience is not how strong you are but possessing a strong will and grit to endure as you navigate the terrain of life. It’s about having the willingness to own your situation and not allow your situation to own you. You may not feel as if you will overcome or survive tumults quandary. On the contrary you will as long as you do not yield to the pressure of throwing in the towel and giving up your hope. You must possess a faith in a source greater than your feeble strength. No one is exempted from life’s prevailing problems, setbacks, and perplexing battles. Being resilient is learning from life’s adversities and misfortunes. Life’s dilemma’s is like to a university in which you must learn lessons that will strengthen and embody your inner faith. Tools that will fuel you to keep pressing and moving towards your dreams and purpose of living the highest version of yourself. In closing resilience is the ability to hold on to your faith while facing and encountering whatever life throws your way.
