You Are Resilient!!!!!! Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The Goal of resilience is to thrive. Jamais Cascio Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from adversities, trauma, and tragedies. You can spring back into shape because each person has been born with the unique quality called elasticity, which means failure is not an option! It reminds me of how a lotus flower is produced. As Goldie Hawn explains it best, "The lotus flower is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one, but it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom. First you must have the mud, which is the obstacles of life and its suffering. The mud speaks of the common ground that humans shake. No matter what our stations in life, whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness, and more compassion, when must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one." Although you've been knocked down through life's issues, you can come back stronger than before. Just as the lotus flower rises out of the muck and mire so can you! I beseech you to Rise Up! Elissa B
