My last post highlighted the importance of resiliency in coming through any type of change stronger than you entered it. I was encouraged to see how the post resonated with others as people shared their own comments and it was re-posted.
In a nutshell, one key source of resiliency is purpose, which can be described as taking a focus that is "beyond our immediate circumstances or feelings.”
Artists often tell stories that clarify abstract concepts like purpose. In this "You'll Find Your Way" video songwriter Andrew Peterson illustrates the importance of purpose in our personal lives, especially in parenting our children. When we call our children to return to the time tested " old roads", we are encouraging them to look beyond their "fields of joy" and "dark nights". This ability to look at the bigger picture beyond our personal circumstances is crucial to developing resiliency.
Take a few minutes to enjoy the video and then check out the thoughtful responses to my last post on purpose. I’d love to see additional comments on either post.
