Resilience

From the pomp and pageantry of a royal funeral- even in Covid times - to an article in Fast Company - which I first rea its first issue in an airport in the 90’s - some markers of resilient people:

• They have a strong sense of who they are and draw on it.

• They learn even when things go wrong and draw on positive takeaways.

• They focus on the long term rather than the immediate.

• They have a sense of purpose and draw upon it.

• They don’t need all the answers before proceeding with action and learn along the way.

• They are highly selective about those they turn to for guidance.

• They nurture themselves.

These are good rules for those living through a pandemic - or working on major issues like climate change.
