Stay resilient from "summary" of Lead from the Outside by Stacey Abrams
Resilience is not just about bouncing back from setbacks, but about harnessing the strength within us to face challenges head-on. It is the ability to adapt and persevere in the face of adversity, to keep moving forward despite the obstacles in our path. In the journey of leadership, resilience is a crucial trait that can make the difference between success and failure. When we face obstacles or setbacks, it can be tempting to give up or lose hope. But staying resilient means finding the courage to keep going, even when things seem impossible. It means believing in ourselves and our abilities, and refusing to let setbacks define us. Resilience is about facing our fears and pushing past our limitations, knowing that we have the strength within us to overcome any challenge. Building resilience takes time and practice. It requires us to cultivate a mindset of growth and possibility, to see setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth. It means being willing to step outside our comfort zone, to take risks and try new things. Resilience is not about being perfect or never making mistakes, but about having the courage to keep going, even when things get tough. In the face of adversity, it can be easy to lose sight of our goals and dreams. But staying resilient means keeping our eyes on the prize, and not letting obstacles derail us from our path. It means staying focused and determined, even when the road ahead seems long and difficult. Resilience is about having faith in ourselves and our abilities, and knowing that we have what it takes to succeed.- Resilience is a choice that we make every day. It is the decision to keep moving forward, no matter what challenges come our way. It is the belief that we are capable of overcoming any obstacle, and the determination to never give up. In the journey of leadership, staying resilient is a key to unlocking our full potential and achieving our goals.
