Unwanted and unexpected change is often forced upon us... while we cannot control our life circumstances, we can control our response.

Resilience helps us to... 

• Overcome the obstacles of childhood poverty, abuse and neglect. Steer through everyday adversities eg. road rage, unrealistic deadlines
  
• Adapt to major life changes/loss eg. divorce, death, injury, redundancy
  
• Reach out and grow, learn more, take on new challenges.
  
  

The natural capacity to develop resilience is in all of us...
It is not a fixed trait; it needs to be developed across the lifespan; it requires daily effort.

Resilience comes from:

The way we choose to think and the way we choose to act.
