Resilience
“The essence of resilience is to learn how to adapt to life’s storms without breaking.
The tree that bends with the wind is always stronger than the tree that fights it.”
Trees are the essence of resilience. They survive strong windstorms and live for hundreds of years by being flexible. Instead of remaining too rigid, they bend with the wind so that they don’t break.
The image of a bending tree resonates with us because it speaks to our belief that it’s not the types of storms we experience – but how we handle them – that matter most. It also appeals to our belief that each of us have the innate capacity to heal and be resilient. Regardless of whether we do it with help or on our own, we can learn to bend under pressure without breaking.
