Do you Splatter or Bounce?
(Text-type:Exposition)
I have been thinking about the idea of resilience recently. When one is physically sick, the body may not be strong enough to withstand the aches and pains. However, I realise that the mind is by far, a much 'stronger' part of the self, that can really make or break a person.
Do you splatter or bounce? A rubber ball, when dropped, is likely to bounce, even if it from a great height. Most other things, with greater density, is likely to go splat.
If we build resilience within ourselves, we learn to bounce back. We will not fall flat on our faces in times of adversity. We learn to pick ourselves up, and keep on going. We learn that when we fall, we can learn how to rise again.
It is all in the mind.
If we have already decided that we will splatter...then it is likely that we will.
So, keep telling ourselves...boing...boing...boing...
