Resilience isn't just our capacity to stand there and take the slings and arrows of life, it's the power and agility in which we respond to those slings and arrows. We don't have a limited amount of resilience and that's good news.

Because when bad things happen, over and over, layered on top of each other, and they just keep coming, our reslience doesn’t have to tap out.

We can build unlimited strength and speed in our response by learning to effectively “bounce,” and we can do that even before an adverse event occurs.

By learning how to get up off the mat long before we’re even hit, we develop a resilience muscle that can seemlessly respond with strength, speed, and agility.

My framework or formula for expanding your resilience is like a revolving door of gratitude, growth mindset, locus of control, explanatory style, compartmentalization, and reframing.
