Other people stress out and melt down, losing hope and health. Thats the danger in times of change. The good news is that resilience isnt a genetic gift for the lucky few. Its an easily understood skill that anyone can practice and master. Resilient people face reality head on, take action, find deeper meaning in life, laugh often, and are masters of improvisation. A new kind of natural selection is already having its way with us. Hopeful, stress-hardy people will rule the world. And as change and uncertainty escalate, those prone to stress will be less able to compete.Joan Borysenko is the smartest woman Ive ever known. I urge you to drink in her wisdom. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, the best-selling author of Excuses Begone!
