Meaning and purpose motivate humans but are often elusive; practical action, acceptance of complexity, and values-aligned commitment must accompany reflection.
We often conceptualize resilience as an abstract or fixed concept-inaccurately believing that you either have it or you don't. We mistakenly assume it is a personality feature that determines how or whether we recover from adversity. What we don't often realize, however, is that resilience is more like a skill, or a set of skills, that can be built and used to enhance our capacity for living.
