How to develop resilience and mental toughness to bounce back in life

How we look at adversity and stress and how we respond to these situations impact strongly on whether we succeed and or are happy and peaceful.

It's hard to imagine what our world would be like if Edison & people like him had given up after their first few failures. This is the most important reasons to have a resilient mindset.

Resilience is our ability to adapt and bounce back after crisis, emergency, accident, life changing events & crippling diseases, financial/career/ relationship disasters & all the time when things don't go as planned. Resilient people don't wallow or stick with their failures & miseries, they acknowledge the situation, learn from their mistakes, and then take actions to move forward in life.
