Your endurance builds resilience.
When a thought comes through like this, I like to check the actual meaning of the words.
Endurance means the ability to keep doing something difficult, unpleasant, or painful for a long time. Resilience is the ability to be happy, successful, etc. again after something difficult, challenging has happened.
This completely describes my friend, client, and author, . We're working on the final layout for her book, Married Widow. Throughout her memoir, aka dedication to her husband of 50 years, we learn of her devotion to the man she loved and then cared for after a horrible fall from a ladder. His brain trauma took them on a fourteen year journey of Lucie being his advocate and primary care partner. She endured the most challenging of times watching her life partner deteriorate and then come back. Lucie is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have the immense pleasure to know. Funny how these seemingly random thoughts create profound stories about situations that we endure and that make us resilient. What is your story about endurance and resilience? I'm pretty sure we all have one.
