How’d You Grow Through That?
The importance of hardiness
Hardiness refers to the ability of a person to withstand and adapt to adverse environmental conditions. It measures a person's resilience and ability to cope with external stressors without significant harm or loss of function.
You grew up impoverished, enduring both spoken and unspoken
inequities. Your experiences are likely something only portrayed on a screen,
reduced to a nightmare, in stark contrast to your inescapable reality, if
acknowledged at all. You've tirelessly engaged in battles in which you were
involuntarily thrust. Somehow, even if not by your own standards, you've
managed to ‘make it’. You are loving, driven, optimistic, realistic, strong,
and focused. But how did you achieve this? How?
After all that you've been through, how do you not only
stand but become rooted in progression? Believe it or not, those challenges,
and the hardiness they can organically create, have a lot to do
with your growth as outlined below.
