It's not realistic to expect to always be thriving. Life can be messy and we can’t separate the highs and lows or have one without the other. But we can learn to accept the process, to understand that it's part of the journey, and to build our own inner resilience. It’s about bouncing forward and using adversity as a catalyst to get better and become stronger.
And we also need to remember that we are part of a community - that when we are vulnerable, we can lean on each other and lift each other up. And together, we are so much more resilient than we know.
“This work is not for yourselves – kill that spirit of ‘self’. If you can rise, bring someone with you" - Charlotte Maxeke.
