I had a client once tell me they wanted to think like me. I asked them what exactly they meant. They said I always seem so positive and I always can see the silver linings in situations. While I was flattered by my client’s appraisal of me, I let them know that this is not a resiliency I was born with but one that I have purposefully and carefully created and it did not happen overnight. Not to mention the fact that I have my own fair share of meltdowns and super stressful situations. But what I know with unwavering certainty is that no matter what obstacle I face, I will get through it because I have the mindset that I will get through it somehow, someway. It’s not always easy and quite honestly there have been times when I have struggled to keep that mindset, but knowing that I have a strong foundation of resiliency allows me ground myself and power through the obstacles.
