Are you aware that ‘growth doesn’t just happen. Getting older is automatic, but getting better is not. In order to become better, you must have a personal growth plan – you must be intentional in your life. Intentional living takes good intentions and turns them into good actions. If you are going to grow, you must grow your purpose.’ (J.Maxwell) I know it’s much easier to just drift along, and hope we get better with time. However, I’ve observed in myself and others that that’s not the case, you have to be proactive. What are you planning for today?

Idea #30 – Resilience is a word we hear a lot these days, however, exactly what is it? How do we know when we have it? How can we develop resilience? One way of describing resilience is having an attitude of never quitting, never saying “I give up”. Have I ever thought about giving up – for sure. And I’m sure that’s not uncommon. Did I give up – NO! I keep trying even though progress seems slow, even though it feels like “2 steps forward, 1 step back”. Another way of looking at resilience is imagining a rubber ball – if you throw it against the wall it bounces back. However, if you throw a small sandbag, it hits the wall and slides to the floor where it stays. Ask yourself, “am I a rubber ball or a sandbag today”? Make sure you choose being a rubber ball.

Practice: Idea #525
Some days I think that the challenges are never going to quit, and it seems that hard times are continuing forever. When I think about quitting, I remember that ‘Resilience isn’t something we’re born with or without. It’s a skill we can acquire and sharpen at any time, and one of our main ways to do that is by practicing acceptance.’ (U) Accept what comes your way, and think about what the future can look like. ‘Don’t just visualize success at the end. Visualize the process. Don’t just picture yourself winning. Picture the steps it takes to get there.’ (D.Bokhari) What do your steps look like?
