“There are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.”
– Boris Johnson
Since childhood, we have heard stories about individuals overcoming unthinkable circumstances–disasters no one believed they could and coming out stronger than before.
Resilience is, at its core, about getting through the pain, disappointment and heartbreak in life without letting such instances crush your spirit. Research has uncovered the various skills and attitudes resilient people use to overcome traumas, missteps and setbacks.
Resilience doesn’t just live in a world of superheroes but in everyday individuals. Having the same outcomes as those heroes is within your very own reach. You don’t have to be super to take on your life’s very personal real challenges.
