Resilience is a matter of having the spiritual musculature to make our way back from adversity to engaging with life with greater hope, courage, and appreciation. Perspective is a centerpiece of both gratefulness and resilience. Grateful Living helps us to gain perspective and become more resilient, trusting that there will always be difficulty, but with a heart open to learning and loving, we can recover from it, often with greater wisdom.
