“The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below.” (Proverbs 15:24)

 Today, we are going to examine the word “resilience” and how it relates to the practical and biblical principles for “Spiritual” growth. In essence,“resilience” represents the ability to recover quickly. Resilience is defined as the power to spring back from an unfavorable situation; A person's ability to change and adjust in a positive way to adversity. In the business world, it is called “adaptability” a key leadership ability in approaches to problem-solving. It is your ability to exam a situation, resolve with the best alternative, and adjust for the greater in a circumstance to move forward. The “resiliency” is a direct connection between “adaptability” in “strategic planning”  to achieve goals.

 In the context of the scripture, King Solomon left on record for all people striving to become productive leaders the importance of using Godly wisdom to overcome adversities and challenges in life. For instance, personally, I call this “What-If-Phase.” It is the ability to know in life you will encounter adversity, plan to overcome obstacles, and thinking out-of-the-box to embrace new opportunities to reach goals. Thought to ponder: Your “resiliency” is the ability to transform for the greater from adversity; Not losing hope in your purpose; Knowing you will recover. At this level, your total being (mind, body, and soul) shifts and begins to resist the very opposition with a mindset of victory on the other side.

What lessons can be learned about “resilience” and “adaptability?” There are five (5) important lessons. Discovering the “Truth” in “Know” and “How.”

1. Know life will have adversities as winds to blow our dreams and goals in different directions. How will I plan to overcome to reach my dreams and goals? (Visionary Leader)
   
2. Know mediocrity will only lead to complacency; Complacency will lead to defeat. How is personal “value” positioning me for success? Know your own value and worth. (Value Proposition Minded)

Remember, an environment of life is a progressive climate and culture of growth through turbulence. Change your environment if needed. Change your view if needed. Speak life, grow, and lead! “You Have Value!” “You Have Purpose!”
