The Limitations of Resilience

Resilience is commonly defined as the capacity to cope with difficult situations, yet it can be an exhaustible resource. While practices like gratitude and social support can momentarily bolster resilience, they may not sustain individuals facing chronic or extreme stress. Many people mistakenly believe that resilience alone will help them thrive in all situations, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy when they find themselves overwhelmed. Recognizing that resilience is beneficial for short-term crises, but insufficient for long-term challenges, is essential for understanding how to navigate life's complexities.
