Building Resilience...!

Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back at least as strong as before. Rather than letting difficulties or failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. Psychologists have identified some of the factors that make a person resilient, among them a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback. Resilience is not some magical quality; it takes real mental hard work to transcend hardship. But even after misfortune, resilient people are able to change course and move toward achieving their goals.
