10 Quotes to Strengthen Your Resiliency
Resiliency is a quality that impacts so many areas of our lives. When it’s strong, we are better equipped to handle the setbacks and challenges that life throws at us. When resiliency is weak, the impact of any bad news takes a significant toll and is hard to recover from.
My desire in this short article is to strengthen your resolve to build resiliency muscles so you can bounce back and forward after your setbacks.
What is Resiliency?
The dictionary provides part of the answer.
Resiliency*:
The power or ability to return to the original form, position…after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity.
Ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy.*
Let me add another dimension to what I believe resiliency is. Resiliency is “the ability to bounce forward to a new place if there is no possible way you can ever go back to the former place or state.”
If you are going to survive and thrive after a storm or a traumatic event, you need resiliency. I share these quotes to help shape your mindset and motivate you to grow your own resiliency muscles.
