Here's the truth about resilience that they haven't told you about yet

Resilience is actually a bad thing!

Or it can be if you apply it all of the time.

Most of the time, resilience is of course an essential attribute. Especially when starting a business or when the environment becomes difficult.

The problem arises when resilience becomes all we know and we don't take the time to stop, look around and realise we're heading in the wrong direction.

Now resilience becomes our trap.

Never give up ! Push harder ! Shoulder to the wheel !

Before we know it, resilience in the face of adversity flips into tolerance of the undesirable.

Imagine someone standing next to a brick wall and continually bashing their head against it. All the while being cheered by a baying mob shouting “Yay, he's so resilient”

Not exactly useful, is it?

Always make sure that you are moving and check that it's in the right direction. Then you can tap into your resilience.

Otherwise, you may want to consider doing something different.
