Resilience is not a very sexy trait…
It is easy to be a rockstar when you are up onstage and the people are cheering…
It’s harder when the lights are struck and the crowd has gone home.
I’ve been thinking a lot about resilience lately…
That ability to keep going, to hold the faith, to refuse to crumble.
I think “resilience” is the single defining quality, the essential ingredient that must be present if you are to shift from living an ordinary life to a great life.
Will you keep going?
Will you refuse to waver?
Will you persist in trying to be the very best version of yourself?
Giving up is easy. It requires no talent. Anyone can do it.
To keep going. To fight on. To overcome every rejection and to still believe?
This also requires no talent. Anyone can do this.
It’s as easy as putting one foot ahead of the other.
It’s as simple as calling a friend and asking for help.
It’s that choice that you make when you get up in the morning.
To always rise. To always learn. To try again.
Never give up.
Lying down in self pity is always the worst idea ever.
Keep going
