WHY do some make it,
while others seem to fall?
WHAT do I need to bounce
back from a set back?
What are the keys to be
adaptable but anchored, to be flexible but focused. We need RESILIENCE.
One definition of resilience
is ...
A process of positive adaptation despite adversity...
- If it is a process then this means – YOU
CAN LEARN IT.
RESILIENCE IS BUILT
THROUGH PROBING THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR EXPERIENCES.
Maybe you are not totally
to blame for ending up where you are today, but you must understand that you
are the only one who can keep you from moving forward.
Resilience is built from
a foundation of taking responsibility.

Corinthians 9:26-27 (CEB)
26 So now
this is how I run—not without a clear goal in sight.
I fight
like a boxer in the ring, not like someone who is shadowboxing.
27 Rather,
I’m landing punches on my own body and subduing it
like a slave.
I do
this to be sure that I myself won’t be disqualified after preaching to others.
What if the goal was not to always be looking for a way out of the
struggle, but rather looking for the way through? Trouble always comes, tough
times happen to us all, but we need to remind ourselves there is more in us and
more for us.
We are not defined BY our circumstances, but to a large degree we
are defined IN our circumstances – in other words, take another step, get up
one more time, just keep breathing …. RESILIENCE is building, and you are becoming
so much MORE.
I am currently doing a series on RESILIENCE and covering some ‘must
have’ keys to building resilience and setting yourself up to overcome the
pressures of life, to minimize stress, and limit anxiety. Grab hold of the 4
messages and get equipped to live life to the full.
