Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. Everyone faces adversity and challenges throughout their lives, both at work and at home, but not everyone has the capacity and internal strength to work through these challenges and bounce back quickly. 

Resilience is not a sign of exceptional strength, or a rare or special extraordinary quality; it is a fundamental feature of normal everyday coping skills. When you understand and learn to strengthen your coping skills, you naturally become more resilient.  

Resilient people tap into their strengths and support systems to help them overcome challenges and work through their problems.
