Stepping Stones to Greater Resilience
By Marquita Herald
No matter how much we try to avoid life’s inevitable challenges and detours, they're going to happen. The question then is not how to avoid obstacles, but how to use them to our advantage.

Description
Resilience is that trait that empowers us to not merely manage life's inevitable challenges and detours, but to bounce back stronger than ever. It's about having the willingness to pursue stretch goals, the courage to get up when you've been knocked down, and the tenacity of spirit to embrace all that makes life worth living. To regard adversity as an opportunity for personal growth may seem idealistic; especially in the midst of typically overloaded schedules and the noise and stress of everyday living … but the hard truth is that from time to time we are going to stumble; encounter unexpected detours, and fail. No matter how much we try to outrun or sidestep adversity, it's going to happen. The question then becomes not how to avoid obstacles, but how to use them to our advantage. The good news is that research has proven that resilience is not a genetic gift for the lucky few. It is a set of skills that can be practiced and mastered over time. Stepping Stones to Greater Resilience is a self directed learning guide to help you strengthen the characteristics that enable you to avoid getting sidetracked by life's inevitable challenges and thrive as a result of the experience.
