Welcome to my 2021 Wellness website. This is my first post. From here on I will discuss all matters pertaining to resilience – mental. physical, spiritual – whatever – how to get there, how to maintain it, and perhaps – how to pass it on to others once you attain your personal version of it. I will post blogs, re-post other people’s blogs, and throw out items for discussion from time to time. Resilience is unique to every individual and there is “no one-size fits all” prescription to finding your solution. However, we can learn from the experiences of others who have found themselves in similar situations. My approach is eclectic – all areas of human endeavour, all eras, all cultures, all gender expressions, and all types of challenges that someone had to overcome – often after numerous dispiriting attempts – and failures.
I start from the viewpoint that resilience is attainable by anyone. I like John Buchan’s description of the human spirit, i.e. “The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.” (Buchan was a diplomat, a First World War propagandist/an intelligence officer, a politician, a historian, a best-selling novelist in his day – and as Lord Tweedsmuir – the Governor-General of Canada).
That’s enough to start us off. I plan to showcase contemporary persons to start – well-known AND not so well-known. The common denominator will be that they found a way to find themselves.
