20 Quotes To Inspire You To Be More Resilient

Resilience is having the mental strength to recover quickly from difficulties, adversities, failures, challenges, rejections, and setbacks. Without it, we cannot expect to go on and succeed in the pursuit of our goals. Why is that? Simple, because difficulties, adversities, failures, challenges, rejections, and setbacks, are all part of the journey towards success. Only on extremely rare occasions do people ever achieve success without first having to endure all these above trials, therefore, we should always prepare ourselves to face these adversities. Not only should we prepare to face these adversities and trials, but we also should prepare ourselves mentally to accept them, acknowledge them, embrace them, and then work hard to overcome them. These trials and adversities aren't just a once off though, and then we succeed, not normally anyway. In fact, we will continue to encounter them over and over again, for many years even, before we finally break through and find that specific action that opens the door to success. These adversities and trials are brutal, and they will challenge us to the point where our pursuit looks hopeless, and near impossible to achieve, and that is why resilience is so important. We need to draw on our mental strength to uplift us, and fuel the determination, drive, perseverance, patience, and belief, within us, to keep on going, no matter the cost, and no matter the suffering. Of course it's difficult to accept and endure, but unfortunately for us, that's how life goes. In order to enjoy the rewards and blessings that life has to offer, we have to work extremely hard, and experience all kinds of hardship and pain first. Despite how stressful, painful, and challenging, these adversities, hardships, failures, setbacks, rejections, and trials are, there is an upside. These positives can be summed up in three words; experience, learning, and growth.

We gain experience through trialing different actions, seeing what works and what doesn't work, and then relying on our intuition, creativity, and resourcefulness, to keep on devising actions until we find a winning formula. We get to experience what failure feels like, and in doing so, we learn from it, discovering all the decisions and actions that failed to produce the results we were seeking, but also all the behaviors we possessed that were non-beneficial for us also. Each time we gain this experience, we learn by it, and each time we then devise a way to overcome each failure and adversity, we start growing as an individual, and this is invaluable. The strength and courage we gain from fighting through each adversity and challenge is enormous, and that's why the longer we persevere and remain patient, the greater the reward becomes when we achieve the success we desire. Strength is the key word when it comes to resilience, because it does indeed take a lot to pick ourselves up from continual disappointment, to then keep pursuing something that always feels like it's never getting any closer. It's about maintaining a strong belief in ourselves and our abilities, having faith that we can indeed achieve the success we desire, if we just continue to work hard, continue changing the actions and being adaptable, and remaining focused on being driven by the goal we wish to accomplish. Don't be tempted by the ease of quitting! If you want something badly enough, you continue to fight for it, despite the odds, despite the challenges, and despite how long it takes. Resilience is the difference between giving in to failure, and going to achieve success. Keep the faith, and keep working hard! It will be tough, but you are mentally strong, and you will prove it so! Here are 20 quotes to inspire you to be more resilient along the journey towards achieving your goals in life.
