Resilience isn’t a skill we’re born with but an attribute that we acquire over time. Resiliency is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. It’s the ability to spring back to its natural state after it has been tried. A person being resilient is like being a human slinky according, to Dr. Jon Wortmann author of the book “Hijacked by Your Brain”.

A slinky can be stretched and bent out of shape several times but it always seems to bounce back rather quickly. We all have some form of resiliency whether we realize it or not. I recently had the opportunity to talk with one woman who is not only resilient, but she shows a human strength that is absolutely incredible.
