Fact—Life is unpredictable. There is no amount of wealth, connection, influence or power that can insulate us from stress, illness, disappointment, loss, or sudden change. No one is exempt. What makes a difference is how we handle or manage these experiences. Resiliency is that inner strength that enables us stay grounded when things go wrong, adapt to challenges and recover from it with our sense of self intact. Without it, even the most ordinary obstacles can feel overwhelming, but with it, major hardships becomes manageable.
