Thomas Edison , who is known to most of us, once said ; “ l have not failed, but have found 10,000 ways that don’t work”. Do we have the resilience to overcome our failures , or do we let our challenges derail us on the path to our goals. What could we accomplish if we had the strength not to give up. Some modern definitions of resilience are, 1) – The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, misfortune and change. 2) – The ability to adjust to adversity, depression, illness failure and the like. Resilience is an important quality to cultivate as many people are wanting to bounce back from the difficulties they are facing. The first step is understanding that all things will pass. Everything that exists in the material realm is of a temporary nature, and is prone to giving us difficulty. This includes our bodies, minds, other living entities and climatic conditions.
