Resilience is one of the most important skills in life.
We all face difficulties, challenges and setbacks, but resilience is what determines whether we fight through it and grow, or let those hurdles defeat us.
The great thing is, we all have the ability to access the inherent mental strength that exists inside all of us.
“Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges. It is a blessing to be able to survive them, to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other – to be in a position to make the climb up life’s mountain, knowing that the summit still lies ahead.”
Oprah Winfrey
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.”

“I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they recover after they fall”.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . Failure always made me try harder next time”
Michael Jordan
