2. Cultivating Resilience
We rise not by avoiding the storm, but by learning to breathe inside it.
Resilience isn’t just the ability to bounce back—it’s the strength to rise, grow, and transform in the face of adversity.
Cultivating Resilience means embracing setbacks as opportunities, facing challenges with unwavering determination, and pressing forward with courage, even when the path feels uncertain.
Building resilience takes courage—but also patience, faith, and the belief that every struggle carries the seed of transformation. Whether navigating a difficult past, surviving the prison system, or confronting life’s personal obstacles, resilience helps us rise stronger. When we choose this value, we empower ourselves and others to stay the course—trusting that resilience can lead to healing, renewal, and a deeper connection to purpose.
CORE VALUES
- Research by Dr. Brene Brown on vulnerability and courage in her book Daring Greatly shows that vulnerability is a key component of courage and leads to deeper connections and personal growth.
- Studies on self-efficacy, like those found in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, indicate that individuals who perceive themselves as capable of change (which requires courage) are more likely to successfully transform their behaviors and outlook on life.
- In a study conducted by the American Psychological Association, individuals who faced their fears and acted courageously in the face of challenges reported greater overall well-being and mental resilience.
