“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin
The dinosaurs were powerful, but not resilient. They couldn’t, and didn’t, weather the onslaught of change.
Power, skill, and even knowledge are not enough. Resilience – that remarkable ability to just roll with change, to prevail in spite of what shows up – is what’s fundamental to moving from good to great, to creating lasting excellence in your life. Resilience is what pulls you through the random difficulties and problems that show up. It’s what moves you beyond barriers.
Resilience is the cultivation of the mental DNA – the grit – to more than survive, but to thrive in spite of what shows up. Today, what are you doing to cultivate, to nurture, that resilience in your own life?
