Cultivate Resiliency and Learn to Weather Life’s Emotional Storms

There is an old quote by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that states, “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.” You’ve likely heard some version of this saying, but do you believe it? Are life's challenges, in the end, food for the soul that make us stronger and wiser? Nietzsche may have been hinting at the concept of resiliency, a term used to describe the ability to recover from adversity, to essentially “bounce back.” We associate resilience with not only bouncing back, but also the ability to effectively cope, overcome, and become more adept at facing life’s next challenge.
