Resilience
To Live With Grace means you bounce back quickly when life hands you the inevitable setbacks. To recover from loss and grief — or to turn your Time, Talent, and Treasure into Legendary Wealth – you rely on the Hand of God to pick you back up and use your faith to power you forward.
Definition: Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress—such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors. As much as resilience involves “bouncing back” from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth.
