by Rev. Leah Hart-Landsberg

Growing up, I always thought the key to being resilient (maybe as a kid I would have called it “ending up ok”) was to be good, think smart and do everything correctly from the get-go. That way, you can’t go wrong, right? Well, no. Research suggests and I think most of our experiences of adulthood confirm that it can be a lot more helpful to just keeping plugging away at life than counting on everything going well in the first place.
