BENDING WITHOUT BREAKING
- Dazzle Courses
Life is certainly not a straight path with no obstacles in the way, I do not know a single person who has not experienced change of some kind that they would have preferred had not come their way.
We all know someone who has had to endure some difficult circumstances, heartbreaking events or financial stress where their resilience has been stretched.
In this fast paced, technological environment that we find ourselves living in, adaptability, resilience and flexibility are qualities that have become even more essential than before. We will all experience unexpected change whether in business, our personal lives or a changing global dynamic, how we respond defines our sense of fulfilment and confidence.
Resilience and the Power of Adaptability
Resilience Is Learned, Not Inherited
Resilience is the ability to bend without breaking, it’s about staying grounded when the winds of change blow hard. Many people believe resilience is something you’re either born with or you’re not. The truth is, it’s a skill that can be built through practice, perspective, and patience. Resilient people don’t avoid difficulty; they face it, learn from it, and grow stronger.
The Secret Ingredient
Adaptability, the quiet power behind resilience. It’s what allows us to pivot as circumstances shift. It’s your response system, your willingness to adjust your mindset, strategies, and expectations in response to change.
Without adaptability, resilience can harden into rigidity. We might be determined, but determination without flexibility can lead to burnout. By contrast, adaptable people embrace change with curiosity instead of fear. They ask, “What can I learn from this?” rather than, “Why is this happening to me?”
Building resilience isn’t about big heroic acts, it’s the small, consistent choices we make every day.
