Kobe Bryant said, "If you see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear. I've always loved that quote. That's mamba mentality. We don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer."
Resilience isn't about avoiding challenges, it's about recognizing that you have the strength to persevere in the face of those challenges.
• It means adaptability.
• It means courage.
• It means grit.
Resilience is a skill you learn and a mindset you develop over time.
9 Lessons from The Most Resilient People in Life:
1. Accept that sh** happens - In life, there will always be pain. Understand that life is suffering as the Buddha once said. This stops you from feeling discriminated against and helps you combat that feeling of "Why me?" Instead, think, "Why not me?"
2. Choose where to focus your attention - The old saying is "Control what you can control," and this starts with where you focus your attention. Our minds are wired for the negative. We always remember the negative emotions and events, not the positive. Be present. Be self-aware.
3. Ask yourself - is this helping me or harming me?
As you start to think about focusing your energy, you will deepen your self-awareness. By asking this, you choose to respond instead of react. You are being proactive in your approach to regulating your emotions and feelings.
4. Don’t let the 3 P's get into your mindset
• Personalize - Belief that you are at fault for everything.
• Pervasive - Belief that an event will affect other areas of your life.
• Permanent - Belief that an event will be forever By removing these, you are taking a logical approach to your challenges.
5. The most resilient people cultivate resilience over time (they don’t get lucky) - It's a skill you can build over time using optimism, a growth mindset, acceptance, hard work, consistency, and patience. When you build habits and a system that build resilience, success is inevitable.
6. Tune into the good and choose to live purposefully - Go on a benefit-finding search. The Army “hunts for the good stuff.” Spend time each day remembering what you're grateful for. Gratitude widens your mindset and presents you with feelings of abundance rather than scarcity.
7. Know that it takes effort and hard work - Resilient people don't let others outwork or outthink them. Be interested and passionate about what you are doing. You can't fake enthusiasm and energy. Your enthusiasm is contagious, so enjoy the details and the gritty work.
8. Combat unhealthy beliefs about yourself - Don't let your mind wander or unhealthy beliefs about yourself fester. Have good mental habits and self-awareness to see challenges and adversity for what they are. The ability to combat unhealthy beliefs takes patience and consistency.
9. You need to have the courage to believe that change is possible - The ability to have hope gives you a sense of control and power versus a feeling of powerlessness. Change is constant in life - it is your choice whether to improve and grow with the changes.
"Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success." - Kobe Bryant
