Building resilience is critical for growth and change. By developing our hardiness we can move more easily through stressful and challenging situations and re-frame them as learning experiences.
Nurturing this ability takes time and practice, but an easy way to get started is to find a sentence or mantra that resonates with you. Something that empowers you, motivates you and helps you reframe your mindset during difficult periods.
To celebrate International Women’s Day we’re sharing our favourite quotes about resiliency from 10 inspirational women:
“My barn having burned down, I can now see the moon.”
― Mizuta Masahide (17th century Japanese poet and samurai)
“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”
― Maya Angelou
“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”
― J.K. Rowling
“Someone I once loved gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.” ― Mary Oliver
“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” — Marie Curie, Chemist and Physicist
