Resilience Quotes

“The scene is grim, a dank corridor rising out of Elysium, back to human climes and textures. I feel the man sensing what he’s done and the catastrophic change in the air around him. Grief as swift as a blade that cuts the cord of your innocence but leaves you stranded, still alive and pulsing while she stays stuck in death. Or did she? Now I’m chasing down Eurydice as she disappears into that tunnel. The story of Orpheus no longer interests me; I’ve been there, done that. What I want to know is how she took it, what she wanted to happen in that moment.”

“I always knew the mountains would take something from me one day. I wrote about their fine lines, their graves, and their shades. Then, one day, I looked up upon the gray— it takes everything and then nothing, even if you offer them everything. You can’t survive it, you live with it— in small pieces, small steps, small moments. All along, it takes you, survives you— you’ll never understand it.”

“In order to get “good” at grief, you have to practice grieving over and over again. This does not mean being constantly sad, but actively engaging with grief each time it appears, instead of avoiding it or pushing it away. It can be frustrating at first, because most of us are not explicitly taught how to grieve, but gradually, we can learn to remain upright in the face of our grief and become “good” at dealing with it.”

“Grief is less like a predictable sequence and more like an amorphous blob of uncertainty. You can’t forecast your way out of grief, because there’s no way to determine when the next wave is coming. This may seem disheartening at first, but when you recognize that there is no structure for grief, you can stop trying to pinpoint exactly where you are on your journey. If there’s no road map, it’s impossible to be lost.”

“Recovery from the death of a loved one rarely looks like grand gestures and soaring moments of triumph. In fact, living well after loss more often looks like gradually giving ourselves and the people around us just a little more compassion, just a little more permission, and just a little more love every single day. Healing doesn’t need to be grand to be worthwhile; it’s the littlest moments that make the biggest difference.”

“Continuing to live does not mean consenting to forget. You are not a bucket with a limited capacity. No, you are an ever-changing container with the amazing ability to accommodate not only your life and your love, but the life and love of the person who died. It is possible to hold many, many lost loved ones in one body and still keep trudging forward. Progress does not mean leaving your loved ones behind. It means taking them with you and keeping them alongside you for the remainder of your ride.”

“We're not invited into relationship with God at a deeper level in the absence of our challenges, but in the midst of all of life, including our challenges. Difficulties provide us a chance for greater closeness. Every situation in life carries with it an incredible opportunity for sweetness, depth and wonder. Receive every experience today as an opportunity and a gift.”

“As you strive for success, remember that your achievements will always inspire those who look up to you. Therefore, stay resilient until you become successful. Be a role model and inspire others to be successful too.”

“Bear in mind that success is a process that requires resilience and persistence. You will not just wake up and find yourself there. Therefore, as you aim to get there, embrace the process.”

“Along the way, you will be tempted to give up. You will get tired. You will become anxious and worn out, but if you develop resilience and persevere on a success-focused path, you will ultimately lead a successful life.”

“Yes, the sweat will smell bad, but success has a beautiful scent, entirely different from the sweat. Do your due diligence. Do not relent. One day, you will reap the rewards of your resilience.”

“Beyond aspects of pain that are physical, thought Oppenheimer, sickness or injury or privation, beyond the so-called obvious, suffering can be a work of art. It can be made of buried and rising things, helpless and undiscovered, song of frustrated want, silence after desire. It can be the test of the self falling short, constrained, distorted, disturbed or rebuffed, the vacuum left by longing, call without an answer.”

“Ces enfants mûrissent trop tôt parce que, ayant été rendus sensibles aux malheurs, c'est ce qu'ils savent 2le mieux voir. Ils sont attirés par les blessés et désirent les aider. Ils comprennent ce more de relation qui les revalorise. Le comportement oblatif qui consiste à donner à ses propres dépens leur permet de gagner un peu d'affection, au risque de rencontrer quelqu'un qui en profitera, car ils sont faciles à exploiter. Ce don de soi n'a pas la grandeur du sacrifice puisqu'ils le font discrètement, parfois même en cachette. L'oblativité prend plutôt l'effet d'un rachat par ceux qui ont commis le crime de survivre quand leurs proches sont morts. Ces enfants, adultes trop tôt, aiment devenir parents de leurs parents. Ils se sentent un peu mieux en vivant de cette manière qui les prive d'une étape de leur développement mais les revalorise et les socialise. Ne les félicitez pas pour ce comportement, car ils détestent tout ce qu'ils font. Vous risqueriez de saboter ce lien fragile. Vous les trouverez mignon et touchant parce que ce sont des enfants. Mais leur fraîcheur apparente masque leur malaise. Quand on est malheureux, le plaisir nous fait peur. Non seulement, on n'a pas le désir du plaisir, mais on n'a honte à l'idée d'avoir du plaisir. Alors l'enfant trop adulte découvre un compromis: il s'occupera des autres. Ces enfants qui veulent fuir leur enfance haïssent le passé qui s'impose dans leur mémoire encore fraîche. Ils la combattent grâce à une préparation comportementale au déni, une jovialité excessive, une recherche exaspérée de ce qui peut faire rire, une quête d'engagements superficiels, une hyperactivité incessante qui les pousse vers le présent en fuyant le passé.”

“If self-hatred was hammered into you when you were young, Major wants you to know that you're important - that being an outsider helps you develop skin that's both tough and pliable in social situations. You are a stronger person because of the shit you've gone through.”
