Become Elastic

Build Resilience

Resilience refers to the quality of elasticity: the ability to bounce back to a comfortable shape, after being stretched or compressed in new and challenging ways. In order to recover from setbacks (which are unavoidable), to adapt to change (also unavoidable), and to keep going, we all need to be somewhat elastic.
