I love the new greens as the trees leaf out, and the grasses
begin weaving their luscious carpet softly sprinkled with yellow, pink, and violet
wild flowers. Nature’s resilience is
amazing in a world that in so many ways doesn’t seem to care. This weekend I received emails from
individuals that have dealt with multiple challenges, and somehow keep coming
back with their spirits intact. Resilience
is one’s ability to persevere and adapt, and its foundation is optimism and positive
thinking. George Everly at Johns Hopkins
suggests tenacity and interpersonal connectedness / support might be the most
powerful predictors of resilience. We are neurobiologically wired for connectedness,
but it is our life experiences that complete the circuits. Is your positivism connected to others?
