These days, we hear a lot of talk about “building resilience” or “being resilient”. But what exactly does that mean and why does it seem so darn difficult and daunting to do!?

That’s because resilience isn’t something you “will” into existence. It doesn’t involve “digging deep” and “sucking it up” for eternity to show how “tough” you are.
