Think about resilience.  What does it mean to you?  What do you think of when you think of a resilient person? 

Resilience is the ability to bounce back, to overcome adversity, and it's a choice.  You must choose to be resilient in the face of adversity - whatever it may be in your life.  When it comes to a lot of things, it is not easy.  But, then again, most things worth doing aren't easy anyway.

How can you develop your resiliency muscle so you are ready when you run into adversity or big challenges?  

Here are 7 Surprising Traits of Resilient People:
  1. They Understand Reality:  In a world where it is some times deemed OK to create an alternate reality and decide that something that is true factually is not, resilient people know the truth and they know that reality always wins.  The embrace it and focus on how they can thrive in the environment they are in.
  2. They Work the Problem:  Resilient people work the problem.  They don't fret, they don't sit around an worry.  They don't freak out.  They simply go to work systematically solving the problem taking it one step at a time.
  3. They Play the Long Game:  Resilient people know that you win over time.  They know that showing up consistently every day and going after their goals, even if they are not the most talented or have all of the tools they need, will lead them to success.  They play the long game and know they can outlast failure, competition, adversity, etc.
  4. They Don't Dwell on the Past:  Resilient people don't dwell on the past because they know there is nothing they  can do to change it.  They can only move forward, learn from the past, and keep striving toward their goals.
  5. They Win Incrementally:  Resilient people win incrementally.  They know that it is not usually one major win that makes the difference, but a lot of little wins over time that add up to create a huge advantage.  So, they focus and make sure that they are disciplined winning in all areas of their lives and businesses incrementally.
  6. They Ask for Help:  Resilient are not afraid to ask for help.  They know that they do not and cannot know everything or be able to do everything, so they enlist help whenever they need it.  
  7. They Keep Perspective:  Resilient people keep a healthy perspective.  They know that things will never go exactly as planned or in the way they like.  Understanding this and knowing that they will just "work the problem(s)" if or when they come up allows to keep going and reach their goals.

You can develop these sames traits and make yourself a more resilient person.  Pick one and start working on it this week.  Once you've mastered it, pick another.  Very quickly you will find them start to take hold in your life.
