One thing's for Certain

Recently I read a blog by Seth Godin where he discusses the ‘teaching of certainty’.  Although, I agreed with a lot of what Seth said regarding the fact that in schools we can lead students to believe that life takes a certain pattern and then when they join the real world, it all falls apart as they discover that few things go to plan.  However, in my experience, there are some things that are certain

  • You certainly will have your resilience tested more than once in your lifetime
  • How you have looked after yourself and your own wellbeing will certainly have an impact on your ability to ‘bounce back’ from any crisis that you face
  • If you start now you will, certainly, have begun to build resilience and wellbeing for the future
  • Taking some time to stay in touch with others (and not just through social media) is, certainly, one way to help increase your wellbeing and build resilience

Tomorrow why not take 15 minutes out of your day to contact that friend, or family member, who has been on your mind but you simply haven’t found the time to call.  Staying in touch with people can really help to build resilience, maintain communities and make a difference; not just in your life but also in the lives of those you contact.

Happy Chatting
