“Fall seven times and stand up eight”—Japanese Proverb
Resilient people are like emotional rubber bands—stretched to the limit by life, without ultimately breaking, who eventually bounce back into something that resembles their previous shape. The ability to be resilient is a skill highly linked with emotional intelligence—to understand, name and respond effectively to your emotions. The good news, is that resilience can be a skill you learn and build.
