RESILIENCE

We often don't know the true extent of our OWN RESILIENCE until we are required to use it.

"Resilience means knowing how to cope in spite of setbacks, or barriers, or limited resources. Resilience is a measure of how much you want something and how much you are willing, and able, to overcome obstacles to get it. It has to do with your emotional strength"
(SpeakersOffice.com describing what it means to be resilient)

I recently had to test my own resilience to a pretty high level and I'm the first to admit, that I even surprised myself.

It is not a lack of self belief, confidence or ability that caused the surprise, but it was a conversation with someone else who made me:
* stop
* take a breath
* acknowledge that what occurred was no mean feat
* be proud of my achievements
* recognise my resilience

Have you had a test of resilience, small or large?
How did you acknowledge your accomplishment?
