Resilience is a powerful trait in overcoming obstacles from "summary" of The Moment of Lift by Melinda French Gates
Resilience is a quality that I have seen time and time again in the women I have met around the world. It is a powerful force that enables individuals to overcome the most challenging of obstacles. In my work, I have witnessed women facing seemingly insurmountable odds with a strength and determination that is truly inspiring. One such example that comes to mind is a young woman I met in India who had been forced into marriage at a young age. Despite facing immense pressure to conform to societal expectations, she refused to give up on her dreams of pursuing an education and building a better life for herself. Through sheer resilience and determination, she was able to defy the odds and create a brighter future for herself. Resilience is not just about bouncing back from adversity, but also about using challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. It is about having the courage to face difficult situations head-on and to keep moving forward in the face of adversity. It is this resilient spirit that enables individuals to push past their limitations and achieve their full potential. I have seen how resilience can be a catalyst for change, inspiring individuals to break free from the chains of oppression and injustice. It is a quality that empowers individuals to stand up for their rights and advocate for a better future for themselves and their communities. Through resilience, individuals can overcome the most formidable of obstacles and create a more just and equitable world for all.- Resilience is a powerful trait that can enable individuals to navigate the most challenging of circumstances and emerge stronger on the other side. It is a quality that I have seen time and time again in the women I have met, and one that continues to inspire me in my work to uplift and empower women around the world.
