Welcome setbacks to develop
your resilience
________________________________________________
They say the strongest steel is forged
in the hottest fire, and that’s why the most resilient
runners welcome adversity. Nobody enjoys setbacks, but
ultrarunner and philosophy professor Sabrina Little says
they’re a key component of our development as athletes.
That was one of her main takeaways when she asked: “What
Does It Mean To Be Resilient?” Sabrina says
our resilience grows when we cultivate the virtues of
perseverance, tenacity, and patience in the face of hardship.
It requires us to be active and thoughtful in our recovery
when things go south, and by addressing our weaknesses
through this process, we can come back stronger than ever
before. A resilient mindset can be a powerful tool, but
it can only take you so far. Success is about balancing
persistence with the ability to find the path of least
resistance. The bottom line is, researchers haven’t
totally quantified how important “grit” is
to success, but that won’t stop us from taking this
Grit
Scale Quiz to find out where we stand.
