In this life, no one is immune to facing challenges and setbacks. Things happen whether you’re rich or poor, male or female, old or young – or anything in between. Good and bad things happen to everyone. Happy things. Sad things. Even tragedies that you wonder how anyone can overcome and move on from.
The reason people can and do overcome even the worst things in life is resilience. If you want to thrive in life, it’s essential to build resilience — the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, disappointments, and adversities.
Understand The Power of Your Mindset
Your mindset plays a vital role in your ability to develop resilience in the face of adversity. If your mindset is focused on growth, you know you can learn new things to help you overcome challenges. But if your mindset is fixed, you view failures as permanent and unchangeable. When you develop a growth mindset, you’ll shift your focus from the negative aspects of a situation to the potential positive outcomes.
Focus On What You Control
One of the key elements of resilience is understanding what you can and cannot control. You can’t control everything, but you do control how you respond to it. Understanding your sphere of control empowers you to take action and make positive changes in your life.
