A SERIES OF GIFTS — No. 11: RESILIENCE AND THE 5 Ps SOLUTION

Remember 1991’s “What About Bob?” Dang, I loved that movie. What a hoot!

In it, a rather fussy, self-absorbed shrink (Richard Dreyfuss as Dr. Leo Marvin) has his life upended by this galumphing goofball-of-a-patient (Bill Murray as Bob). High jinks ensue and a book entitled “Baby Steps” is born.

I’m reminded of that book today, because RESILIENCE (and, specifically, desiring to BECOME more resilient) might feel tantamount to climbing Everest, but it needn't.

In fact, the gateway in often begins with two surprisingly simple steps:
1) First, taking a page from Optimists rather than Pessimists.
2) And second, seeing what they've written there about Perspective.

Once you’re past those, the rest come with practice and repetition.

See? Baby steps!

We hope GIFT #11 in our SERIES OF GIFTS — “RESILIENCE AND THE 5 Ps SOLUTION” — is an encouragement to someone out there.
