"Resilience"

Resilience: n. the power of springing back; Figurative, the power of recovering readily; buoyancy; cheerfulness

Often in life there are circumstances and situations that occur that will have your head spinning. You wonder "What happened?", "Did I miss something?", "Who the hell are you?", and "How did I get here?"  It's often not easy to answer these and many other questions or to even assess the situation with a level head. We frequently go along in life just living, existing and not being fulfilled; then, you get sideswiped or knocked off your ass for you to get a wake up call. What is it that you need to spring back from, to recover from - the loss of a job, a broken marriage or relationship, the death of a loved one, insecurity, low self-esteem?
     Whatever IT is, know that you have the power within to be resilient.  Resiliency doesn't come from someone else, a job, a relationship, or things. It is a deep knowing from within that no matter what you've gone through in your life, YOU have the power to bounce back. I learned that myself, the hard way, but it was a lesson worth learning. Until next time.
