Do you have what it takes to be resilient?

Life comes at you fast. Some people were faced with adversity at a young age and some adults have not faced any major obstacles or issues....yet.   Regardless of when your time comes for this thing called life, you have to be ready! If you were already hit by it, maybe through abuse, loss, disease or divorce, I hope you were able to recover and move forward successfully.

So, what made you resilient? How were you able to rebound from the incident(s)? Did you have outlets like music or sports that allowed you to RELAX? Did you have a DREAM that you would someday be something big and important? Did you BELIEVE that things would get better at some point? Did you have at least one person in your life that your truly felt LOVED you and whom you loved? Were you still able to LAUGH & find humor in the funny things in life despite the sad or hurtful experiences you had? Those were the ingredients for resiliency.

If you were lacking any of those resiliency factors, you may still be struggling with whatever issue you faced. It's never too late to attain these factors, though and get through life a little happier!!Stay tuned!
