CM_Izmir : Flexible (Resilience) : Iraz Candaş

To be resilient is to be adaptable. It is a way of being flexible and alive with the leaps we make to live. It is about learning, developing and intertwining our roots to share resources and build a strong collective anchor. It means swaying rather than snapping, like trees in a storm.

It is not easy to persevere in the face of difficulties and heartbreak, to say the least. “I think resilience is the strength and speed of our response to challenges,” says Adam Grant, a psychologist and co-author of Option B, a book about resilience. To heal, to be sad, to yawn but not to be broken? Building these resistance muscles takes time and dedication. “It's a skill set we've been working on throughout our lives.”

For your life, community, or planet, consider: What can you do today to help build strength and ease for the future?
