WHAT IS RESILIENCE?
“Resilience is the strength inside you.
It helps you withstand disruption.
It helps you adapt.
It helps you rise stronger than before.
It is not just surviving the hard times.
It is how your mind resets.
How your body adjusts.
How your spirit grows in the middle of struggle.
When you tap into resilience, something powerful happens.
Your brain lights up.
Your body responds.
Your heart comes alive.
Setbacks turn into lessons.
Hope returns.
A quiet energy begins to guide your every move.
The true test of resilience is not just to recover.
The true test of resilience is bouncing back stronger than ever.
It is taking stress and turning it into strength.
It is facing challenge and coming out stronger.
And that, my friends… is who you are.
You bend, but you do not break.
You fall, but you rise.
And every time you rise… you rise stronger.” – Rene Godefroy
