Yourself Resilient!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">You can make yourself resilient!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some people can overcome any obstacle in life and others do not.\u00a0 What is the difference between these two groups of people?<\/p>\n<p>Those who overcome any obstacle in life are resilient.\u00a0 They become resilient because of multiple factors in their lives, some of which they can control and others they cannot.<\/p>\n<h4>Factors they cannot control include:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Early childhood bond.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A caring adult established a strong bond with a resilient person before the person was three years old.\u00a0 This bond set the tone for rest of the person\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Easy going personality.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most resilient people have an easy going personality.\u00a0 I happen to be very resilient but do not have an easy going personality like most others like myself.<\/p>\n<h4>And the factors they can control include:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>The talent factor.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find something you excel at.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you have not been excelling in your area of talent for most of your life, you can still hone your talent.\u00a0 Just practice it daily and work as hard as you can.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>A growth mindset.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having a growth mindset causes you to believe that you are in charge of your own mind and destiny, and this contributes to resilience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Helping others.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A common thread among adults who survive adversity is that they help others.<\/p>\n<p>When you help others, you realize that you are not the only person in the world with a problem.\u00a0 My Grandma taught me this throughout all of my growing up years.\u00a0 When I feel down, I find someone else to help.\u00a0 Helping someone else reminds me that others have problems too, and oftentimes their problems are bigger than mine.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Although both categories of factors help you become resilient, you do not have to possess the factors you cannot control to become resilient.\u00a0 Just work on the factors within your control.\u00a0 With these in place in your life, you will bounce back from anything life throws at you.<\/p>\n<p>Make yourself resilient so you can bounce back no matter what life throws at you and soar like an <a
