Adversity & Resilience
Life doesn’t just test you; it shapes you.
- You’ve hit rock bottom – and climbed your way back up
- You’ve grieved a deep loss
- You’ve had to re-invent yourself
- You’ve been misunderstood, and have stood your ground anyway
- You’ve taken care of others while breaking inside
- You’ve faced rejection – and still kept putting yourself out there
- You’ve lived with uncertainty and kept moving forward
- You’ve learnt to let go
If you’ve lived through, or are still living through, this lot, even just a few, chances are you’ve developed a kind of emotional and psychological strength that can’t be faked… a kind of quiet, unshakeable resilience most people don’t recognise in themselves.
Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual; it’s messy, unpredictable and sometimes downright brutal. Strangely, it’s often the people who have faced the most adversity that end up the strongest – not in a hardened, unemotional way, but in a grounded, quietly powerful way. This kind of resilience doesn’t come from books or retreats: it comes from the kind of experiences that shake, stretch and ultimately shape you.
Always remember, you’re stronger than you give yourself credit for, so hang in there and keep the faith.
