Be A Resilient Leader
This is our only shot at life.
It would be wonderful if life were easy. It’d be wonderful if things went our way every time. If people we loved didn’t die. If plans didn’t fail. If evil didn’t exist. If planes didn’t crash and pandemics and wildfires didn’t rage.
A leader is resilient because they have to be.
Life is no soft affair. It challenges us. It rolls obstacles in our path. While there may be victory marches in our future, there will also — inevitably — be defeats and retreats, failures and foibles, and funeral processions. We will suffer. We will grieve. We will screw up and be screwed.
But we keep going. Because that is our fate. Because it’s our only option. We move forward. We move with growing confidence, in ourselves, in our ability to adapt and to grow and to survive.
How?
Well, we’ve been there before. Because of what we’ve been through, we are tougher as a result, more experienced as a result, wiser as a result.
