Evolving Life

Evolving Life podcast was created from the concept of revolving doors. As doors swing back and forth, so do our lives. We all know, not only is life not stagnant, it is ever-evolving. Knowing that there is an evolution to our lives doesn’t make it easier. In fact, it’s the in-between that can sometimes be hard, and offers lessons we often learn. It's those moments in our lives that strengthen us and are the focus of this podcast. The goal is to share the experiences and lessons we learn from the evolving moments in our lives.

Resilience, Another Key To Overcoming Setbacks

June 20, 2022 • MERLENE CAMPBELL • Season 1 • Episode 15

In this episode, we are going to examine what it is to be resilient, to be that person who doesn’t let obstructions of any kind stand in the way.

Resilience is one of those traits that you need to have on some level if you want to succeed, or simply recover from a setback.

Because here is a truth. It doesn’t matter if you have a great business idea, the right resources to implement the idea. Or even if in every episode of this podcast I share with you tools or resources to make your efforts easier.

If you don’t have certain key characteristics, resilience being one of them, then nothing you want or hope to achieve will happen.

That resilience can make anything possible should appeal to all of us. It certainly does to me because as I also mention in last week’s episode, someone complimented me on how strong I am and I thought that what I am is resilient.

This made me wonder if resilience and strength are the same things? This question led me to an article I found on BusinessInsider.com that highlighted the critical difference between resilience and strength.

What the article said was that resilience can be defined as the ability to recover from and adjust easily to misfortune or change. While strength, or mental strength, isn’t tied to hardship, but it can help when things aren’t going according to plan.

I concluded they were definitely not the same. Resilience is a defensive approach and strength is an offensive approach. However, I wanted to understand the defensive aspect of resilience and what it means to be defensive in relations to being resilient.

Here is what I realize.
