Navigating Your Path to Thriving

Resilience
“Resilience is believing there’s a path forward, fully acknowledging
that it might be bumpy, it might be rocky, it might be messy, but we
can get through it. The outcome might not be perfect, but we're
going to be in a better spot. Perfection is not the goal because
there is rarely a perfect decision in a crisis. Most importantly,
resilience is a conviction and belief that we can move forward.”
