You can let your past dictate your story or you can pull from it to create something new. Resilience is the process of adapting in the face of adversity, trauma, or tragedy, having the ability to step up and say “yes” even when you’re under stress. My life has required me to be resilient, and I carry what I learned in my most traumatic moments with me in everything I do. We don’t choose what happens to us, we choose how we react to it. Today’s a new day; choose to be new in it.
