Resiliency.

As you are aware, we face adversity during every facet of our existence when choosing to be proactive versus reactive- be it in starting a new relationship, pursuing a new career, or simply acquiring a new hobby. When faced with these struggles we tend to cede to our limiting beliefs by blaming external factors versus adapting and maintaining course. Below are some of my reflections and I hope I am able to convey the message as efficient as possible.

During the chaos and convoluted circumstances we find ourselves in- we tend to avoid confronting our conflicts as we seek clarity and comfort through conventional wisdom. The infamous comfort zone. Instead we must confront these limiting beliefs to develop a tolerance, and even a taste for the turmoil that will strengthen us in the process.

In being present we reflect and gather the ability to silence the anxiety experienced as we ground ourselves in reality, maintaining our composure and never over reacting in the face of conflict. Through this process we cultivate resiliency, a virtue that equips us with the tools to see through the trials and tribulations. An aptitude which allows us to endure the many conflicting, chaotic and complex circumstances endured in the course of our journey.

Bottom line: being conscious of the resiliency required in achieving any result is just as important as having clarity of intent.

Hopefully this puts things in perspective and gives you a small thing to think about when the going gets tough. My two cents.
