Greetings everyone!
I find that many measures are resilient, but I am currently wondering if it’s a forced resiliency. It’s as if being resilient isn’t really a choice. To get around or do anything, then we must be resilient. I find this to be true, unless I’m thinking about it the wrong way.
I am really curious how other people think of us.
What like a person? 🤔🤗💕🌠
Yes! So many people have such great responses.
Unfortunately with the lock down I don’t see anyone to ask. 😷
Alternative to resilience is giving up 😿
I feel it existed in us long before the MS began. I have often wondered if having an amped up personality is what causes our MS . It seems to be a common traits among us. Anyway, just a thought.
Very interesting thinking about the amped up personality. I love the opportunity this site gives us to view how so many of us feel about different topics and how much we can help each other.
When I think of the meaning of what it means to be resilient, the concept of strength over time comes to mind. A tree that is resilient is one that sways in the wind, but is deep rooted so doesn't blow over; if laden with ice, perhaps loses some branches and bends but doesn't break; in drought drops some leaves, but retains moisture in the bark protected trunk; and whatever comes its way, continues growing tall, reaching for the light.
I believe resiliency is a choice involving multiple qualities (such as patience, self understanding/forgiveness, determination, willingness to carry a burden, faith in the future, faith in the next day;, ability to find the light/beauty/joy in every day); qualities like this separate resiliency from strength, acceptance, and endurance.
Well said 
I agree with kwhompus . I have discovered/rediscovered several new hobbies during the Covid isolation and am rarely bored. I have always been the type that plays the hand of cards that I am dealt every day. Resilience!
I think many people can rise to the occasion when confronted with the challenge. It’s sort of forced resiliency, but it can’t be assumed that everyone is resilient. Perhaps we all have varying capacity for resilience.
Sure it's a choice... You can give up, and feel sorry for yourself for the rest of your life, and not do anything... But complain, and have everyone do everything for you. I have seen it happen. It's a sad life, and they will suck the life out of anyone else near them. So yes there is a choice! You can do what you can, and be resilient, and strong and survive! Which I totally recommend!! Or go the other way. 🤗💕🌠
You always have a choice, positiveness
To get around, you need to be resilient? I think that I approach that as I need to be open to doing whatever 'it' is another way safely to suit my new normal. Keep Smiling
