Resilience: "Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, resilient people find a way to rise from the ashes." Whilst your genes may direct the extent to which resilience comes naturally to you, it doesn’t have to be your destiny. We can all learn to become more resilient, more quick to bounce back when life isn’t going as planned. Resilience is in fact a skill that we can all build upon, regardless of how resilient or not you feel you are right now.
