“Resilience is distinct from mere survival, and more than mere endurance. Resilience is often endurance with direction.”—Eric Greitens
“Endurance with direction.” I like that. We often think of resilience as merely surviving—hanging on—in times of hardship. Resilience requires a sense of Purpose. Resilient people see not only that there is light at the end of the tunnel. They proceed with confidence knowing that there is a destination at the end of the tunnel.
“Direction” is the key to resilience. Carpe momento means taking each step—no matter how difficult—with a sense of Purpose and direction.
What is challenging you in this moment? Are you asking, “Why me?” or “Why not me?” Are you seeing opportunity or a barrier? Resilience is a matter of attitude or, as I prefer to say, grattitude.
Resilience doesn’t make hardship easier, but hardship does make resilient people stronger.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!!
