Thoughts & Musings on Retirement
I think of myself as a pretty resilient person. For me, resiliency is my capacity to cope with life’s curve balls.
Well just a little while ago, in a period of one week, I had to deal with several losses and disappointments, both in my personal and professional life, and by the end of the week, I felt like I had been pummelled by a whole lot of curve balls!
So, all of this got me thinking about resilience. Just how do I or others manage challenges, loss, and disappointments?
“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” - C. S. Lewis
I love this quote because it speaks the truth.
We’ve all been through rough times...illness, the loss of a loved one, career changes and so much more.
We’ve all been surrounded at one point or another in our lives by someone who truly inspired us. Someone doing big things.
We are all capable of resilience and we are all meant for extraordinary.
What does an extraordinary life mean to you?
