As I continue to face the crazy game of law school admissions, it's more important than ever that retain a growth mindset. One quote that really struck me was that, "one of the central elements of resilience, Bonanno has found, is perception: Do you conceptualize an event as traumatic, or as an opportunity to learn and grow?"
What an interesting and productive way to view our stressors!
However, it is only natural that even a resilient person can differ in their reaction to stress from time to time. Sometimes, resiliency is difficult. So, there is hope even when you let rejection or difficulty get to you personally. There is still opportunity to learn from that, too!
Ultimately, the article teaches that, regardless of our background, we can teach ourselves resilience. We can always strive to adopt a growth mindset!
