Resilience is key

You’ve encountered endless obstacles in your life. There have been parenting obstacles, career obstacles and obstacles in your personal life. But, you’ve climbed over every one of them – and in the process even cracked a few glass ceilings. Resilience is vital in today's world, so I applaud you.

It is necessary to be flexible and open to change, especially during these economic times. Strength and flexibility are key to success.
I truly believe resilience is one of the keys to a happy life.

Changing environments, like the one we’re living in today, can be a great challenge, but if you’re resilient, you’ll find the opportunities in it.

This is the lesson I hope to teach my children. I have one child who easily accepts change and can adapt effortlessly to different situations. However,I have another one who fights it tooth and nail.

A change in schedule, dinner menu, or even the location of a play date can send her into a tizzy for hours.
I've learned over time, that preparing her for the changes in advance, greatly helps her cope with the acceptance of these changes. I try not to spring changes on her. It's a lot more work but well worth it in the end and hopefully, as she matures, she will learn to create these systems internally making her more resilient as an adult.
