Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.”

Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.

A good half of the art of living is resilience.

Grief and resilience live together.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going.

Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others.

Successful people demonstrate their resilience through their dedication to making progress every day, even if that progress is marginal.

Resilience isn’t a single skill. It’s a variety of skills and coping mechanisms. To bounce back from bumps in the road as well as failures, you should focus on emphasizing the positive.

Resilience is knowing that you are the only one that has the power and the responsibility to pick yourself up.

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient.

My scars remind me that I did indeed survive my deepest wounds. That in itself is an accomplishment. And they bring to mind something else, too. They remind me that the damage life has inflicted on me has, in many places, left me stronger and more resilient. What hurt me in the past has actually made me better equipped to face the present.

It’s your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life’s story will develop.

When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realize that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.

Indeed, this life is a test. It is a test of many things – of our convictions and priorities, our faith and our faithfulness, our patience and our resilience, and in the end, our ultimate desires.

When we learn how to become resilient, we learn how to embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of the human experience.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance. Never settle for the path of least resistance

Resilience is, of course, necessary for a warrior. But a lack of empathy isn’t.

Resiliency is something you do, more than something you have. . . You become highly resilient by continuously learning your best way of being yourself in your circumstance.

Proactively working to develop mental strength increases your resilience to stress and reduces the toll it takes on you both physically and mentally.

He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.

The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.” –

In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.
