The Heat were obviously without their top scorer in Tyler Herro, and yet they still made it a competitive game down to the wire in Orlando. Anytime a team goes on the road missing a crucial part of their equation and still stays in the game until the final minutes, that always says something about their resilience. Having that element to your group means your effort level isn't going to waiver based on what your personal is.
At 78 years old, Ranii was used to competing against younger opponents, but this one was especially boyish; no older than 12 by her estimation. If she leaned on him a little harder, she thought she could leave with a clean sweep. But after dropping the first two sets, the boy began to listen to advice from his parents, who had coached him throughout the match.
The phenomenon of evil has always been part of human existence but is particularly pervasive in our present times. By definition, we think of evil as being purely negative, pernicious, vile, vicious, and destructive. A noxious force and tragic existential fact of life that brings only misery, sorrow, and suffering to those accidentally or intentionally exposed to or victimized by it. Which, to some extent, includes each of us. But can the painful and devastating experience of evil and the profound suffering it brings possibly be productive, growth-enhancing, or psychologically and spiritually transformative? Can good come from evil? Can suffering be redeemed?
It goes without saying: Getting fired sucks. The moments before are excruciating, especially if you get invited to a last-minute meeting with HR and know exactly what's coming. The aftermath is even worse: losing a steady paycheck and health insurance, diving into a daunting job market, and taking a massive hit to your self-esteem. It's a true walk-in-the-rain-and-feel-sorry-for-yourself moment. Being laid off is hardly any easier.
I don't play golf, but I watched the recent Ryder Cup unfold and was struck by how Europe's team appeared more supportive and united than America's. Were there lessons that I as a business owner could take from this, or is sport just different?

"I think in this life, everyone has demons in the closet," Meier said. "Everyone has bad things that happen But we realize in these moments, as horrible as they are, losing your things in a fire, they're replaceable, but losing someone who was like an older brother, can't replace that. He's somebody I'll be be chasing to live like he did. As a teenager it was tough, but you learn about life and how every day you have to give it your all."
I grew up in a war zone, full of insecurity and injustice. I was at risk of being attacked, singled out, or arrested. Fear came from everywhere: from my parents, from society, from the world, she recalls now. What did we do to deserve this? she constantly asked herself. Honey Thaljieh (Bethlehem, 41) pretended to be a normal girl in a context that wasn't, and she found refuge in the ball. It was a tool to escape social pressure and trauma, to free myself.
Whenever I think of my YiaYia Harriet Patras, I see her with neatly styled hair, wearing a perfectly polished outfit, and decked to the nines in fairly heirlooms and conversation-starting rings. My grandmother had a life filled with challenges and loss, though you'd never know it by looking at her. When I learned about some of her personal struggles later in my adulthood, I was shocked.
It always surprises me where mushrooms appear. Out of the side of a decaying log. From the dark soil where last season's leaves have been left to rot. Sometimes, even bursting through dung left behind on a forest path. Something once considered waste - lifeless, discarded, and forgotten - suddenly becomes an opportunity for new growth. In this way, mushrooms make me think about what happens when relationships fail.
Who says our opinions of ourselves are accurate? After nearly 20 years in practice as a therapist, I've seen how easily those opinions can be shaped-or misshaped-by life experiences. Some clients grew up in families that repeatedly communicated things, directly and indirectly, that weren't true about their worth. Others, who seemed confident for years, found their self-esteem derailed when self-doubt or impostor phenomenon crept in.
What if our most productive selves aren't when we're on Zoom calls or churning through emails, but when we give ourselves the space and the time to move, think, and rest? Move. Think. Rest. outlines a compelling new framework for work in the 21st century-one that replaces slowly dying of burnout at your desk with a productivity routine that makes downtime a must-have.
And so rather than talk about who those actors are that hold them at risk or talk about coalitions of one form or another that might take on coalitions of malign actors, let's talk about the needs of our citizens and that everyone wants to live in a crime-free world. That might sound like a bit of a panacea, but there's no one that would argue against that.
There's an old Latin phrase that has stayed with me lately: Succisa virescit. The translation roughly means, "When cut down, we grow back stronger." Originally the sixth-century motto of the Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, it reflects a simple but profound truth about the human condition-growth often begins in the aftermath of loss. What was once a call to spiritual and physical resilience has become, for me, a powerful metaphor for cognition itself,
The Angel Orensanz Foundation shimmered like a secular cathedral on Sept. 29th, when Project for Empty Space convened its fifteenth Badass Art Woman Awards. This was not a gala in the predictable sense. It was ritual, a liturgy of resilience, a convocation of women who have made it their life's work to cultivate beauty, sustain truth, and preserve the radical power of art in a world increasingly hostile to difference.
"In those years, I stayed in the George V [hotel] in Paris. I went to New York first class. I really had a great time spending that money," he tells Katie Byrne on the latest episode of the Money Talks podcast "I loved it, but I spent it with the faith that there'd be more money. I was never going to sit on a suitcase of money out of fear."
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.
We live in a culture that celebrates speed. We respond to emails at all hours of the day, have packed schedules, and feel pressure to be constantly productive. This drive to keep going is fueled by expectations-our own and others'. Yet when we push beyond our limits, we risk not only exhaustion but also the loss of vital resources like physical and mental health, our capacity for emotional regulation, and strong relationships.
In his book The Narrative Brain: The Stories Our Neurons Tell, he points out that most of the Grimm brothers' fairy tales center on the vulnerability of their heroes. This vulnerability is often borne out of an earlier trauma-abandonment or orphanhood, for example-which leaves its character hypervigilant to danger and presumably with a certain level of cunning at recognizing and responding to that threat.
If you've seen the hit FX series "The Bear," you'll know that running a restaurant is tough. It seems like every episode there's a new obstacle for Carmy Berzatto and his team to hurdle, whether it's preparing for cutthroat reviewers, affording enough stock, offering timely attentive service, or simply getting customers through the door. It's a TV series, sure, but many have praised its accurate representation of the industry.
It's a big, big point for us at home as well with the crowd behind us, We were down a player, but we showed great mentality and we never gave up. We have a strong mentality and even with 10 men we wanted to press, even though it was tough at times. We believe in ourselves and we believe in each other. The supporters were with us and pushing us all the way, and I'm sure they will continue to do so this season.
Steve Harvey is everywhere. He hosts Family Feud (including its celebrity and African editions), he stars in his own courtroom comedy show Judge Steve Harvey, and runs a four-hour weekday radio program. Add to that a clothing line, investments, a foundation, and a sprawling resume of other venues, and it's clear Harvey has built his own personal empire. But it wasn't always glitz and success for the now 68-year-old.
