Unveiling the Journey of Self-Discovery
In the journey of self-discovery, we unravel the complexity of our beings. I’ve realized that true self-understanding is a lifelong pursuit. I’d like to share my personal reflection with you.
As I pondered over a single word that best captures my life, it remained with me for over a month: Resilient. Yes, resilient.
My life has been a series of trials and triumphs. From surviving an abortion decision to overcoming the consequences of an eye injury, I’ve weathered wars, poverty, and numerous business challenges. The word “resilient” encapsulates my journey.
I delved into the concept of resilience, its formation, and evolution. I believe resilience is a divine gift that empowers us to not just endure adversity, but to rebound from it. My journey was marked by unexpected factors that unknowingly nurtured my resilient spirit.
Some individuals lack resilience, turn to destructive habits or stagnation in the face of adversity.
Trials, Triumphs, and the Resilient Path
Resilience, defined by the APA Dictionary of Psychology, “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.” Which in a simpler way, Resilient is the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of challenges and makes you bounce back in life
Consider my experience during the 2008 recession. Despite losing my business and encountering financial turmoil, even my higher education couldn’t help me in making a breakthrough. Resilience enabled me to rebuild myself through faith, self-development, and optimism.
I became more aware about self-care about my personal life and my mindfulness, going more in depth in my spiritual life in building my relationship with God instead of just doing rituals.
Life without resiliency, its thorns can destroy us into million pieces, and we can became like shattered glass, where we cannot go back to our original form, and we cannot recognize our current one!
I emerged stronger emotionally and financially and I was able to thrive from that recession.
Optimism and positivity sustained me. However, resilience is not a solo endeavor.
