The most powerful word when it comes to resilience?
“And”
This is hard AND I'm still moving forward.
In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Kier Gaines explains why resilience isn't about pretending you're okay or powering through without emotion.
Kier Gaines is a therapist, speaker, and one of the most trusted voices helping people make sense of their emotions and relationships.
You think resilience means bad things happen and you aren't affected by them.
Kier says that's not resilience at all.
Resilience is being able to say:
I got knocked down and I’m still taking the next step.
As Kier explains, difficult circumstances don't have to be the period at the end of the sentence.
They can be part of the sentence.
The word "and" changes everything.
Because resilience isn't about never struggling. It's about refusing to stop moving through the struggle.
