Reflection

Resilience

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo—far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.

— Jodi Picoult

Why this matters:

Resilience is often found in our ability to bend without breaking. Like bamboo, we can weather the fiercest storms by embracing flexibility and trusting in our inherent strength to spring back.
