Resilience

The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.
― Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven 

Resilience isn’t just about what you’ve accomplished; it’s about the strength you build in the spaces between those accomplishments.

Resilience isn’t always visible on a resume. It’s not just about the milestones or the accolades—it’s the story between the lines, the journey through the setbacks. The emotional battles, the grief, the fear, and the anger aren’t often highlighted in success stories, but they’re a crucial part of what shapes us.

When facing challenges, don’t be surprised if emotions come rushing in. It’s natural, and it’s part of the process. These emotions don’t weaken us—they contribute to our resilience, turning adversity into strength.

Embrace your journey, including the tough times. Your resilience is not just in what you’ve done, but in who you’ve become along the way.
