Becoming Resilient: Blessing The World With Your Gifts
By: Jordan King
Nothing worth lasting has ever been accomplished overnight. Time is both a healer and revealer, especially if you settle yourself to know when to pause; and when to act during the course of your journey.
1. Resilience In Life
When I think of resilience in life, it goes beyond faking it till you make it. Even perseverance isn’t a good fit. The ability to go through a single day and then repeat is a reward in itself. To be able to live in your truth while surrounded by influences that try to keep you bound to who you were; rather than whom you have become. In realizing that collectively, all people are experiencing a life where meaning is illusive, therefore constant questions continue to remain.
Nobody ever truly figures is out, the game changes every year. When thinking on how to navigate these waters, there are also not many clear answers. Every situation requires a different approach & different things work for different people. That leaves following outside examples as a better way to achieve that which you seek.
2. Learning From Peers
By simply learning about people for whom you can either relate to or admire, their own blueprint can lead to far fewer personal mistakes. Also, this applies to any person, famous or community known, even a relative. Guides are all around us as long as we discern what’s best for our own path. True satisfaction in life arises when you get out of your own path and be that change which you’d like to see in your world.
Naturally, we’re not always going to have good days. It ebbs and flows and sometimes can seem never-ending. However, just as with nature, it’s a part of life that has to be managed in some respects. Finding healthy outlets or even what matters to you personally is necessary to staying afloat through the many stages we experience. This too shall pass is often thrown around, yet time is a healer in many cases. Sometimes, patience mixed into the process produces unexpected and welcome moments.
3. Time is Limited
Our time on Earth is limited by nature, and ancestors from long a time past have come through centuries of challenges; just for YOU to exist in the here and now. Why not take advantage of your gift? With so much going on outside, it can get weary, but the sun has to shine eventually right? See, to be resilient is deeper than just existing. It’s that spark that keeps your inner light alive even when it seems it’s most dim from afar. More than a purpose, but like a sustaining force to keep us fighting towards our goals day by day.
It’s not just about making it to the top; the environment is the ultimate goal. What kind of way of life makes sense to you? Could it be living in sync with your purpose while also giving back & building your community? Or even just doing your own thing! That ability to create your future is the most powerful ability granted to us. We only owe it to ourselves to make the most of it!
