Resilient
Someone who is resilient has the ability to be knocked down by the hardships of life and come back at least as strong as they were before. They are able to change course, heal emotionally, and continue moving towards their goals.
Resilient people bend without breaking, like the willow in the wind. Being resilient also decreases stress. You can learn to be more resilient. In her book, “How to be Resilient”, Anna Barnes offers tips, assertive statements and activities, and shows how you can be a more flexible, strong, and resilient you.
Life is going to throw you a curve ball, it’s just a matter of time. Resilience is getting back up every time you fall down. You haven’t failed until you quit.
I have had a lot of negative things happen to me in my life, but I don’t let them define me. As Carl Jung once said, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
