Resilience is the art of giving thanks when less is more. It is seeing expectancy, when there seems like no end. It is simply staying true to what matters most; faith, respect, dignity, and persistence. Resilience is often displayed daily. Whether we have a small or large task to achieve.

It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. What will allow one to have the greatest hope and resiliency in any situation is to remain grounded. Never forget the solid principles that allowed you to navigate safely and successfully throughout your environment. Those principles that held you over during those “hard times.” Those “get by” sentiments that proceeded to allow you to so called, “keep your head up.”

Resilience is exactly what it means. Being humble and real no matter the situation. Standing your ground, reciprocating respect, and being kind. Resilience allows one to have a sense of order and freedom in their lives. It promotes overall health and well-being, healthy control of one’s environment. It does not create biases, it creates unity. It allows one to develop a greater sense of self. Resilience, it is the drive to pursue greater no matter the circumstances.
