Ever wonder why, in the face of tragedy, some people remain calm and collected and others fall apart? It’s called resilience and all of us have it, to varying degrees. The thing is that most of us don’t know how much we’ve got until we are faced with a crisis.

There are many ways to define resilience, but simply put, resilience is our ability to bounce back after a setback, to get up and dust ourselves off after a failure, or to keep going after a tragedy. It’s being able to adapt to life’s challenges, misfortunes, hardships, and traumas.
