The resilience that shines through with certain individuals is a powerful thing to witness.

No matter what is thrown their way, they can bend and contort themselves, so they don’t break.

The ability to be flexible and adapt to life’s unexpected surprises is an important characteristic that most people don’t seem to possess.

You never know what is coming or when it will pop up out of nowhere; however, people who are able to go with the flow are able to recover more easily when their lives are turned upside down.

Life is a constant state of change whether big or small, being able to adapt will be your best chance of moving through it relatively unscathed.
