Who in your life seems especially resilient? My husband as he really rolls well with the punches figuratively!
What characteristics would a person need to develop in order to become resilient? I would some one who is fairly easy going and has been through enough things to know that sweeting the small stuff gets you no where in life.
In what areas of your life do you think you’ve been resilient? I think it would be the physical things I’ve been through the last 7 years between the c-sections and broken foot I’m still chugging along.
It is often said among educators that a strong indicator of resiliency in children is the presence of a “charismatic adult.” In your own childhood, who was the charismatic adult who inspired you to grow positively? There are just so many people who influenced my life. It dates back to Girl Scouts and my mom as a Leader and all of the other leaders in my life along the way.
Can one be tough and resilient at the same time, or are they opposite traits? I would say in some ways they are one in the same but you don’t have to be tough to be resilient and just because you are tough it does not make you resilient either.
