If you are a millennial or older, chances are you remember the iconic poster of the cat hanging on the rope with the caption “hang in there” on the wall of the nurse or counselor’s office at school.

Iconic posters of kittens aside, hanging in there is one of the most important of all human qualities: resilience.

Resilience manifests itself differently in everyone. Some of us are mentally resilient.

Others are physically resilient. Still, others are emotionally resilient.

Even people who feel completely helpless are still resilient.

They are just resilient in maintaining the belief that they are helpless.

We will all face parts of our journey where we must channel our inner cat on a rope and hang in there.

These become the moments that teach us who we truly are. Hang in there!

It is not always easy to persevere, but it is always worth it

Getting knocked down is inevitable in life.

However, valuable wisdom is revealed to us when we remember it is not if we fall but if we get up.

Author Taya Kyle once shared that “Sometimes you will think you can’t take it another day. But if you hang in there, one step at a time, you will be able to accomplish more than you ever imagine.”

Her words are encouraging, especially when you consider she was widowed in a tragic event where her husband, Chris Kyle, was killed.

Challenging circumstances reveal much about who we are to ourselves.

It is easy to believe we are resilient in easy times.

This belief will get tested as we push through life and take on new experiences.
