The last two years have been a test for many, but I’ve noticed two…
qualities that have risen above the rest in these trying times.
Those qualities are:
Resilience and Kindness
So, what exactly is resilience?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary resilience is defined as “noun: an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change“.
So many people I’ve helped over the last two years have been put in scary life-changing situations, and in many cases, turning into a career transition.
The thing to keep in mind is that we all fail from time-to-time (our doing, someone else’s doing, something else’s doing, or a combination of each). It’s life!
Some old fashion common sense, great points on how to be resilient…as published on Justsell.com
- Focus on results. Embrace the fact that results are what we’re all really after. Effort and attempts are great first steps, but we need to act with commitment to delivering (just like we want people to do for us).
- Make lessons of failures. Minimize the tendency to make a failure or mistake anything more than a lesson on how not to do something. We need to learn from our mistakes and truly accept them as tuition for succeeding later. And yes… Our mistakes might put us in a bind at times and have some uncomfortable consequences but again, that’s real life.
- Continue on. Smarter.
- Reinforce. Support each other (and ourselves) by continually reminding and encouraging one another to deliver on the first three points.
As you’ve probably noticed, it’s with step 4 that kindness comes into the picture…
Enjoy life, love life, and continue to be resilient - I know you can do it!
