Resilience

Dear Clare,

So, I have been thinking about resiliency; What is it? Who has it? How do you get it? Is it a blessing, an innate character trait, or something that you develop through process? I don't have the answers..I'm just wondering.

I can identify role models that I have met in my life. Is that where I got my resilience? The one who comes to mind was my CCD teacher when I was in 10th grade. She was young, fairly radical, and she taught me that the circumstances of your childhood have helped to create who you are today...but the present is your responsibility, yours to create and mold.

So where did you find your resiliency? Who or what influenced you to journey in truth?
